The Skripals will most likely never be allowed to talk

There have been major developments this week, all of them bad, including Putin re-nominating Medvedev as his Prime Minister, and Bibi Netanyahu invited to Moscow to the Victory Day Parade in spite of him bombing Syria, a Russian ally, just on the eve of his visit. Once in Moscow, Netanyahu compared Iran to, what else, Nazi Germany. How original and profound indeed! Then he proceeded to order the bombing of Syria for a second time, while still in Moscow. But then, what can we expect from a self-worshiping narcissist who finds it appropriate to serve food to the Japanese Prime Minister in a specially made shoe? The man is clearly batshit crazy (which in no way makes him less evil or dangerous). But it is the Russian reaction which is so totally disgusting: nothing, absolutely nothing. Unlike others, I have clearly said that it is not the Russian responsibility to “protect” Syria (or Iran) from the Israelis. But there is no doubt in my mind that Netanyahu has just publicly thumbed his nose at Putin and that Putin took it. For all my respect for Putin, this time he allowed Netanyahu to treat him just like Trump treated Macron. Except that in the case of Putin, he was so treated in his own capital. That makes it even worse.

[Interestingly, while whining about “Nazi Iran” Netanyahu did say something truly profound and true. He said “an important history lesson: when a murderous ideology emerges, one has to push back against it before it is too late”. That is indeed exactly what most people across the world feel about Israel and its Zionist ideology but, alas, their voice is completely ignored by those who rule over them. So yes, it sure looks to me like it is becoming “too late” and that the consequences for our collective cowardice – most of us are absolutely terrified from speaking the plain truth about our Zionist overlords – will cost us all a terrible price.]

Then, of course, there is Donald Trump pulling out of the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in spite of Iran’s full compliance and in spite of the fact that the USA does not have the authority to unilaterally withdraw from this multilateral agreement. But being the megalomaniac that he is, and not to mention the spineless lackey of the Israel Lobby, Trump ignored all that and thereby created further tensions between the USA and the rest of the world whom the US will now blackmail and bully to try to force it to support the USA in its rabid subservience to Israel. As for the Israelis, their “sophisticated” “strategy” is primitive to the extreme: first get Trump to create maximal tensions with Iran, then attack the Iranians in Syria as visibly and arrogantly as possible, bait the Iranians into a retaliation, then bellow “OI VEY!!!” with your loudest voice, mention the Holocaust once or twice, toss in a “6 million people” figure, and get the USA to attack Syria.

How anybody can respect, nevermind admire, the Israelis is simply beyond comprehension. I sure can’t think of a more contemptible, nasty, psychopathic gang of megalomanical thugs (and cowards) than the Israelis. Can you?

Nonetheless, it appears undeniable that the Zionists have enough power to simultaneously force not one, but two (supposed) superpowers to cave into their demands. Not only that, they have the power to do that while also putting these two superpowers on a collision course against each other. At the very least, this shows two things: the United States have now completely lost sovereignty and are now an Israeli protectorate. As for Russia, well, she is doing comparatively better, but the full re-sovereignization the Russian people have voted for when they gave their overwhelming support to Putin will not happen. A comment I read on a Russian chat put it: “Путин кинул народ – мы не за Медведева голосовали” or “Putin betrayed the people – we did not vote for Medvedev”. I am not sure that “betrayed the people” is fair, but the fact that he has disappointed a lot of people is, I think, simply undeniable.

It is still way too early to reach any conclusions at this point, and there are still way too many unknown variables, but I will admit that I am very worried and that for the first time in 4 years I am having major doubts about a fundamental policy decision by Putin. I sure hope that I am wrong. We will find out relatively soon. I just hope that this will not be in the form of a major war.

In the meantime, I want to refocus on the Skripal case. There is one outright bizarre thing which I initially dismissed, but which really is becoming disturbing: the fact that the Brits are apparently holding Sergei and Iulia Skripal incommunicado. In other words, they have been kidnapped.

There was this one single telephone call between Iulia Skripal and her sister, Victoria, in which Iulia said that she was okay (she was clearly trying to reassure Victoria) but it was clear that she could not speak freely. Furthermore, when Victoria mentioned that she would want to visit Iulia, the latter reply ‘nobody will give you a visa’. After that – full silence. The Russian consulate has been making countless requests to have a visit, but all that the Brits have done since is have Scotland Yard post a letter which was evidently not written by Iulia and which said “I have access to friends and family, and I have been made aware of my specific contacts at the Russian Embassy who have kindly offered me their assistance in any way they can. At the moment I do not wish to avail myself of their services, but, if I change my mind I know how to contact them”. What friends?! What family?! Nonsense!

Her sister tried to contact her many times through various channels, including official ones, and then in total despair, she posted the following message on Facebook:

“My darling sister, Yulia! You are not communicating with us, and we don’t know anything about you and Sergey Victorivich. I know that I have no right to interfere in your affairs without asking your permission, but I worry too much. I worry about you and your dad. I also worry about Nuar. [Nuar is Yulia Skrial’s dog, whom she left to stay at a kennel center, while she was traveling to the UK.] He is now at the dog hotel, and they want to get paid. We have to decide something what to do with him. I am ready to take him and to take care of him until you come back home. Besides Nuar, I am concerned about your apartment and your car. Nothing has been decided about their safety and maintenance. We can help with all that, but I need your power of attorney in my or my sister Lena’s name. If you think that all of these is important, draw up a power of attorney form in a Russian consulate in any country. If you won’t do that, we will understand and won’t interfere in your affairs.
Vika“

No reply ever came.

I just entered the following query into Google: “Skripal”. April 10th has an entry saying that she was released from the hospital. That is the most recent one I have found. I looked on Wikipedia, the same thing, there is nothing at all.

I have to admit that when I first heard the Russian complaints I figured that this was no big deal. I thought “the Brits told the Skripals that Putin tried to poison them, they are probably afraid, and possibly still sick from whatever it is which made them sick, but the Brits would never outright kidnap two foreign citizens, and most definitely not in such a public way”.

I am not so sure anymore.

First, let’s get the obvious one out of the way: the fear for the security of the Skripals. That is utter nonsense. The Brits can organize a meeting between а Russian diplomat in the UK at a highly protected UK facility, with tanks, SAS Teams on the standby, helicopters in the air, bombers, etc. That Russian diplomat could speak to them through bullet-proof glass and a phone. And, since the Russians are all so dangerous, he can be searched for weapons. All which the Skripals need to do is to tell him/her “thank you, your services are not needed”. Conversation over. But the Brits refuse even that.

But let’s say that the Skripals are so totally terrified of the evil Russians, that they categorically refuse. Even by video-conference. It would be traumatic for them, right? Okay.

What about a press conference then?

Even more disturbing is that, at least to my knowledge, nobody in the western corporate media is asking for an interview with them. Snowden can safely speak from Russia and address even large conferences, but the Skripals can’t speak to anybody at all?

But here is the worst part of this: it has been two months already since the Skripals are held in total secrecy by the UK authorities. Two months, that is 60 days. Ask any specialist on interrogation or any psychologist what kind of effect 60 days of “specialized treatment” can do to a person.

I am not dismissing the Russian statements about “kidnapping” anymore. What I see is this: on substance, the Skripal false flag has crashed and burned, just like MH17 or the Douma chemical attack, but unlike MH17 or Douma, the Skripals are two witnesses whose testimony has the potential to result in a gigantic scandal, not just for the May government, but for all those spineless Europeans who showed “solidarity” with Britain. In other words, the Skripals will probably never be allowed to speak freely: they must either be killed or totally brainwashed or disappeared. Any other option would result in a scandal of planetary magnitude.

I can’t pretend like my heart goes out to Sergei Skripal: the man was an officer who gave an oath and who then betrayed his country to the British (he was a British agent, not a Russian one as the press writes). Those holding him today are his former bosses. But Iulia? She is completely innocent and as of April 5th (when she called her sister Victoria), she was clearly in good health and with a clear mind. Now she has been disappeared and I don’t know which is worse, the fact that she might never reappear or that she might one day reappear following months of British “counseling”. As for her father, he paid for his betrayal and he too deserves a better fate than being poisoned, used and then disappeared.

In the big scheme of things (the Zionists war against our entire planet), two individuals like Sergei and Iulia Skripal might not matter. But I think that the least we can do is to remember them and their plight.

This also begs the question of what kind of society we live in. I am not shocked by the fact that the British state would resort to such methods (they have always used them). I am shocked that in a so-called western “democracy” with freedom, pluralism and “European values” (whatever that means) the Brits could get away with this.

How about some “solidarity” with the Skripals – you, Europeans?!

Dear Saker, The optics of Putin and Netanyahu in Moscow while Israel is bombing Syria could not be worse. Did over 40 million Russians sacrifice their lives during WW2 so that a future Russian president could invite a vile enemy of Russia to the Victory Parade? Their is no excuse for it, not even if it is part of a strategy to avoid major war now. My sense is that Putin cares about the very wealthy in Russia more than he does about the working class. Ignoring your neighbor”s suffering brings suffering to your door. The US now occupies 1/3 of Syria. Iran is next. Russia after that………..Your next Vladimir, believe me.

Not even for a second will V. Putin come to the aid of Iran. The bitter truth is that people like Putin are over pragmatic for the good of humanity, in fact he has almost become robotic.

Sometimes their pretense about principle is what it is: pretense. And he has successfully master the act but some important peoole do see through him easily, parts of the reasons the Chinese will never fully establish a strategic partnership with Russia during Putin era.

But we can keep on dreaming about how he is a major pillar of the multi polar world, a complete mirage.

Remember the promise of delivering S-300 to Syria, just a couple weeks ago?
Well after Netanyahu’s visit we have this:

“Putin’s arms trade advisor Vladimir Kozhin said that #Russia is not in the process of supplying the S-300 to #Syria nor have they conducted negotiations on the topic, and Syria has “everything that it needs.”
But no problem of supplying Turkey with S-400.

“not in the process of supplying” could mean that the orders have been placed with the factory but they are not ready yet. Thus the diplomat can say with a straight face that they are ‘not in the process of supplying’. With the key word “yet” being omitted from the end.

“not being negotiated” could also easily mean that this is a done deal already agreed to by all parties.

Or, both could also mean that the weapons have already been supplied and now its just a matter of the combat engineers and adivsors getting them installed and fully functioning.

Absolutely. The first thing with any press release is to analyse what was NOT said!
Syria is a long game and it would be a mistake for the Russians, the Syrians, or the Iranians to bring matters to the boil when the US and Israel want – i.e. now. The political trajectory of the region is moving from the US to Russia. That the US increases pressure on Russia by economics proves that the Russians have not caved in.

Putinsky isn’t going to do shite, until he can pull the plug from the US Dollar. That is the fact of the matter. It’s the same reason why Iran isn’t retaliating. They are waiting for the pendulum to swing in the US, and in the meantime tough it out with sanctions and what not, and when the time is right they will exact a pound of flesh and the US won’t have anything to do about it, other than risk nuclear war. The US is willing to risk other people’s lives, but when it comes to their own, they have shown time and time again that they’ll pull up stakes and bounce.

The Izzies can keep pushing all the buttons they want, but the Iranians for the time being, are too patient to fall into their little trap. If the Iranians strike, it’ll be generally asymmetric.

“Putin’s arms trade advisor Vladimir Kozhin said that #Russia is not in the process of supplying the S-300 to #Syria nor have they conducted negotiations on the topic, and Syria has “everything that it needs.”

… everything that it needs. ”

That’s the relevant bit.

Certainly the Syrian retaliation against the latest round of Israeli aggression has caught them unawares.
I trust more Syrian surprises are in the can.
Why spoil things for the Israelis by letting them know what?

The time is never, not by Putin anyway, Ruusia is no superpower, because a nation that is growing and does not have that aim and is not directed to it, will never achieve it.
Putin has disappointed many Russians and lost credibility by continuously backing down, I feel betrayed, my family fought Nazism, and now this?

Amazing. It was just a few weeks ago that Putin stood up to the Americans over the Syria strikes, and the Americans backed down. The Russians made if very clear that if American strikes killed any Russians, then they would strike back. The result was that America pulled its punch and didn’t bomb the Russian and Iranian targets that Trump, Trump’s pro-Israeli moneybags backers, and Israel all wanted. Likely the Pentagon told the Russians which targets would be hit in advance, just to avoid that Russian retalliation. As a result, America looked weak and silly with its meaningless attack on Syria.

How quickly that’s forgotten and the “Putin backed down” meme is back again.

Actually, the good news right now is that Netanyahoo has backed down. When Israel and Syria were launching missiles at each other, it seemed we might be at the start of a war. Israel seemed to want the war, and thus seemed unlikely to back down. Then, Netanyahoo comes back from Moscow and stops the attacks. Makes me wonder what was said to him while they were watching the Russian military parade past the reviewing stand?

Yeah, I sense these comments are coming from John Mccain’s deathbed. Putin’s making moves. Benny Nets can’t come to Moscow without someone using it for something. Yet, it’s necessary to engage Israel. It confuses things in Washington and London. The Zionist obsession is, oddly, centered on Israel. Why not New York? Virgina? London? Maybe Washington is Zion. Ever think of that?

This “I feel betrayed” foolishness is causing a headache. You feel betrayed? Get drunk or breast fed or something. Stop being a weeny.

Putin’s in an infowar. Lavrov is. Iran’s burning US flags! That does what? Helps Iran how? The “betrayed” are in cribs looking for a bottle to suck. I can list some very disturbing things, poisonous ideas, in Putin’s speeches and policies. But it becomes difficult to do this and not wind up in their limited hang-out, “Partner of Veterans Today” crowd.

“We love Russia, we hate Russia, We love Putin, we hate him.” Liberals – Changing their minds every second and none of us are supposed to keep track.

Anton G.
Diplomacy is a complex art. Even I was a little surprised that Putin invited Netanyahu to Moscow for the parade. However, we also have the US leaving the Iranian nuclear deal and Israel inciting the US for an attack against Iran. Maybe it was logical for Netanyahu to come, so that the Russian perspective could be presented to him. People forget that Serbia’s President Alexander Vuchich was also present, standing next to Putin, a clear sign to NATO that Russia stands behind Serbia and that a new NATO aggression against the country will not be tolerated.

When it comes to Medvedev, I have to disagree with The Saker. Medvedev has so far backed Putin, and his United Russia political party is the strongest in the Duma. Had Putin proposed somebody else, the proposal would have been blocked. I would like to remind readers that Putin has the right to propose a new prime Minister, but the Duma makes the final decision.

Both Lavrov and Shoigu have been mentioned during the past week. Lavrov is still in charge of the Foreign Ministry and Shoigu of the Ministry of Defense. In fact Shoigu opened the victory parade.

During the past days I have read some pretty suspicious comments and articles regarding Putin. We obviously have a disinformation campaign by the West and the small number of liberals in Russia. Why so much attention being given to Medvedev now and not before ? Is he really so powerful and pro-Western ? More powerful than Putin and other Russian politicians and institutions ? I think not. The impression is that the power of the pro-Western liberals in Russia is being blown out of proportion. I just don’t see Putin reversing his 18 year old policies. I think that we can safely conclude that he knows what he is doing.

” Putin invited Netanyahu to Moscow for the parade. ”
And you know this how??

There is a need, I suspect, for us to get over the idea that nothing happens in Moscow that isn’t President Putin’s doing.
He is busy setting up a new system in Russia. He has said, before the election, that they must establish systems and growth that have gathered such a momentum that in 6 yrs time they will be unstoppable [thus subtly informing us that he has no plans to try and stay on as President, or probably in any position of power].

It’s going to be a big ask – everything, any “red tape” that hampers growth must go. The GDP and economy must grow substantially [how great if oil really does go to U$100 over Iran]. He is clearly as busy as hell, with not a moment to spare.

So just how much time does anyone think he has to give to organising a March !!!??
He has a huge Presidential Administration. I think I heard around 1000 people.
What does anyone think they are doing all the time?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t discover N’hu was going to be around until very shortly before the event and it was too late to change it.

And that business of Medvedev as Prime minister – to start with the statement “we’ve been betrayed – we never voted for Medvedev” is absurd. The Russian PM is not a voted position – nobody voted for Putin either, when Yeltsin appointed him. And – contrary to those times – all Putin did was state he would like him there. Parliament put Medvedev in his PM position, and with very substantial majority of votes. Yes – Putin’s support carried huge weight – but he has supported others before, particularly when he was trying to get a woman in as “Speaker” [Russian equivalent]. On two occasions Parliament rejected his request for someone else.

It’s time to look at the facts and calm down.
Unless, of course, there is some desire to always interpret whatever Putin does in a negative light, which thus says more about the speaker than it does about the President.

“Their is no excuse for it, not even if it is part of a strategy to avoid major war now. ”
Russia has been trying to prevent a major war for years now. It not just going to give up trying, just make us feel comfortable. ANY method (excuse the capitals), no matter how unpalatable, is better than a war with potentially unpredictable consequences. Clearly there are some very serious negotiations taking place. At the moment the Israeli/Iranian conflict is contained within Syria. Do you seriously think Syrians/Iranians would strike back at Golan heights without Russia’s approval?
I think we need to stop the hysterics. We must be patient and watch the developments.

““Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

A misunderstanding if ever there was one.
Power of the kind implied by this statement, – that is power over other people,- just describes a relationship between people.
It’s an abstraction – very much open to interpretation.
If I can tell my 5 yr old child when they will go to bed, and that they will go to school whether they want to or not – do I not have power over them?
In what way does this “corrupt” me?? Do we see billions of parents so corrupted?
No. So, perhaps he means political and military power. The power of life and death and theft and destruction, or the power of help, construction, creativity.
Although the responsibility is immense, one thing I always envied President Putin was that he has the power to put his good ideas into reality. Hospitals, damns, roads, University Departments, business parks – all things that have added immensely to the happiness of millions, he has the power to do and has done.
So – how is he “corrupted”?
What this statement should say is “Power will find out the corruption already in you. If you have the seeds of corruptibility in you – Power will find them out”
Power doesn’t corrupt us – we corrupt ourselves. Power just finds it out.

As the Bard said
“The fault dear Brutus lies not in our Stars
But in ourselves;
That we are underlings”.

It is incredibly counterproductive to suggest that Israel controls the USA. It has always been and always will be the other way around. Israel may use brinksmanship to force the american’s hand at times, but they would never do anything that would jeopardize their military aid.

No blame on your response or the Saker’s description, but language is failing us mostly.

This is more a war between a ‘class’ of people and the rest. The rest, who in most cases are on paper the bosses of their elected representatives, are simply in reality disinterested bystanders (to lift from a comment reply in an earlier post) relegated to periodic public rituals of ‘legitimating’ one, or the other, hand of the same behind-the-scenes ‘Business Party’.

It is not about ‘Israel’ vs ‘USA’ etc. It is about an ‘above the law’ (read as outlaw) cohort seeking to rule the world affairs for their private (and non-commonwealth) benefit of which the likes of Tony Blair now serves as head butler having sold his ‘Labour’ soul for $100m! The national identity (state and borders) are just convenient game boards to play their largely dirty and self-severing games on.

As for Putin (the topic du jour) I have watched his body language over the last few years as Russia has raised from the dead like a Phoenix — a symbolic resurrection myth he touched on in his recent presidential speech. And in this last round of political rituals, I came to the view that there is some greater wisdom in the basic idea and principle of limited terms for these top roles. Unless exceptional circumstances require it, the issue is what is better for the national system in focus; not the leadership ego in control.

There are risks both ways, but my sense is sometimes one can stay too long at the party. Putin I think may have just crossed that river. Nothing about him as a person, but rather what else cannot happen (by way of desirable change) while the status quo persists because of fear of risk of the new. The limited terms of the current and next ‘new’ is what is designed into the healthy democratic system — or should be. Proper process and effective discussion should furnish these servant representatives with the necessary policy parameters to execute their managerial roles in a dispassionate professional sense. Otherwise the result is just an electioneering farce like Malaysia, or the city state of Singapore. Syria’s Assad and NK’s Kim may be the current exceptions due to crisis at hand.

Perhaps there are no reliable Russian alternatives to Putin and Medvedev at present? Ok, then why is that the case? Poor succession planning basically? Or, is it just the Russian psyche to have a ‘Czar’ until the rot sets in and the next revolutionary upheaval emerges?

No, it seems the current malaise is wider and deeper than that: it is basically generational and global. Trump, Erdogan, Netanyaho, Saud, Sisi, UK Windsor, Putin, Medvedev, Merkel, … the list of names goes on.

This is now not about Left or Right; it is about who owns; runs; and works on the plantation — and who has access to the company store with the plastic ‘work unit recognition’ tokens. We are approaching, or in already, depending on location, neo-Feudalism:

“The Age of Neo-feudalism: A Government of the Rich, by the Rich and for the Corporations.”

Influence is horizontal; control is vertical. Israel may influence the USA; but something ‘higher’ in the hierarchy is on control of both. And at this stage of its emergence, the closest description of this ‘control’ function can best be described a coordinated network of “cultures of mendacity” that are planning globally, and acting locally. Some of this phenomena may be overt conspiracy (in the true sense of the word); while much of it may just be the passive net-effect of globalized mono-culture, consumerism, and deficient ideology lacking evidence-based variety focused on the local etc. Subsidiarity does not exist in a globalist framework (although a certain world church may preach otherwise). Cults of parasitic convenience will arise within, and take the outward form of, whatever the operating environment necessitates.

Thus, it is not hard to imagine, as a mental exercise, a ‘defeated’ fascist virus that has no issue dropping the Nazi symbols of one era and donning the ‘Star of David’ of the next. Dogma and death camps continue with only an apparent change of actors. Gaza prison and indigenous Palestinians showered in ‘Jewish’ sewage. Did the mid-20th century European Jews in Germany and Poland experience different? Yemen and Moslem weddings served by Saudi Wahhabi with their brand new ‘job creating’ US/EU missiles. So, the (self) chosen ones continue in their delusions of exceptionalism. Others will decry ‘exceptionism’ while inviting the arch symbol of such contemporary religious madness to sit next to them at the victory day parade. The show goes on and the innocents are crushed in race for the next Lamborghini!

Putin does not disappoint me because I never held high hopes for systemic change.
He no doubt serves Russia as he sees it. And within a global outlaw Cabal environment he may well be correct in his strategy. Only time will tell.

And if there is an ‘Almighty God’ — then that is where the responsibility and accountability lies. Amen.

“He no doubt serves Russia as he sees it. And within a global outlaw Cabal environment he may well be correct in his strategy. Only time will tell. ”

I like this.
About a global outlaw Cabal environment, i try to imagine a conversation between Trump and the Cabal messenger CM:

CB: you gonna candidate for US presidency and be elected !

Trump: No way, I have no credentials,don’t read properly,like women and grab them,no idea about politics,Hillary just reached 98% in polls.

CB : Our financial elites wanna start a war with Russia and China because of multi polar world order and Petro-yuan so it is going to be a Russia Gate and your slogan will be Make America Great Again ( the trade war with China )

Trump: ok

CB: You gonna attack the mainstream media and label them Fake News.
Trump: No way,they will rip me apart,they are all owned by Jews tycoons.

CB. We put you President against all the odds. You will acuse and put some blaim on DOJ ( Department of Justice )

Trump: No way,they will put me in jail,i have so many Skeletons in the closet.

CM: Don’t worry,then you have to acuse the FBI and CIA,make a mockery of the 17 intelligence agencies,call their behaviour witch hunt.

Trump: No way,they are the Deep State,they gonna test me with some bullets.

CB:Don’t worry,nobody can touch you.
Then you will start the war againt everybody,declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel,scrap the nuclear deal with Iran,don’t care about the others,warn the little Rocket Man with the missiles rain ( typhoon )….

Sorry about baptizing the Cabal messenger, the mistakes, I was in a hurry, now I am at my peaceful job.

I skipped the chat about the Congress, another power in the State, Trump being a fake Republican arguing about Crooked Hillary and the Democrats that hate him, John McCain and other Republicans that do the same.

All of this and the behaviour of Netanyahu in Moscow and the last attack on Syria is a huge sign of power for the hidden elites.

It is like the terrible Beast that comes out of abyss in the Book of Revelation. We leave in apocalyptic times ,no doubt. They start showing their Face ( or horns,heads what ever )

The core of the Cabal should be religious, I think of 3 signs here:

The state of Israel in the biblical land ( there were other options )
Jerusalem the capital.
Al Aqsa mosque demolition and building the Temple.

All this generating tectonic earthquakes in all aspects of life for so many… It didn’t matter.

@ Isabella

That is a saying and it is more about a long standing power ( and money ) not a temporary one and it is not about kids for sure. And not about Putin ( he recommended Medvedev ), there is another one about the exception that proves the rule.

Israel does in fact control the US. When Bibi comes to visit, he is greeted by thunderous applause from Congress. The Zionists have openly bragged about how they are in charge of US foreign policy. That is precisely why they need not worry about jeopardizing their military aid.

I don’t think it goes either way, its not “US controls Israel” or “Israel controls the US.” They are both controlled by the Zionist elite, and possibly other groups are involved like the Jesuits, illuminate and other such names. The Wahhabis also play a crucial role in keeping the middle east and other Muslim countries asleep. They are both (US and Israel) controlled. However Israel is a direct product of the Rothschild(Balfour declaration), and other Zionist machinations. So if you put a gun to my head and told me which is it I would say most likely “Israel controls the US.” Even though its hard to say because they both have their roles to play in this Zionist/Euro-American scheme. I still don’t even know, and maybe will never know, who is at the top of the pyramid. Most people have settled on it being the Rothschild banking cartel. To a certain degree its not that important because they are all in bed together, and they all just have different roles to play. None of them are innocent, all of them are equally culpable. Lets not forget the Brits and the other western Euro nations either.

If I’m not mistaken, then Wahhabis were supported by the British and thus got so powerful in the ME. Zionists and Wahhabis seem to get along so well, because they hate Christians, opposed to the other denominations of the Islam who regard Jesus as an important prophet.

“If I’m not mistaken, then Wahhabis were supported by the British and thus got so powerful in the ME. Zionists and Wahhabis seem to get along so well, because they hate Christians, opposed to the other denominations of the Islam who regard Jesus as an important prophet.”

Yes you are correct. Their are some who even say that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, who was the founder of the Wahhabi movement, was also an agent of the British. So the entire Saudi-Wahhabi alliance is possibly a complete British run enterprise. Now the Saudis were definitely agents of the British.

Any group that ever wants to proclaim themselves as Muslims, will have to accept the Prophet hood, and Messiah status of Prophet Jesus(as). Now the Wahhabis are tricky because outwardly they profess Islam, but inwardly they are a deviant sect, that in my opinion has nothing to do with Islam. Its the same as you and me understanding that Prophet Moses(as) has nothing to do with Zionism.

Beg to differ…for proof look no further than the 1968 USS Liberty affair. If Israel could get away with that 50 years ago, the “aid” (3 billion+ per year) would never, I repeat, never be in jeopardy in this day and age

It does control U$AIPAC, by financial means and brainwashing. Goldman Sachs, Lehmann Brothers, Steve Mnuchin, do all these ring a bell? not to mention the AIr Force General Dave Goldstein.
Who do you think controls the media and Hollywood? They even dare to say it openly.

“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.”
– Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.

I was recently talking with a friend and when talking about the news I said how scary they were and how the endless lies were taking on me. He didn’t really understand what I meant by “lies”, and when I talked about the Skripals he said “ha, the guy that was killed ?”, I told him “no, he’s not even dead !”, but I’m not sure he believed me … Brainwashed zombies :( :( :(

Meeting in Moscow on May 9 is requested by BN for some overtly stated reason. Request is granted and meeting is held. But the plan for military action is already in place — to be put into action just after the meeting. And it is put into action. Hidden aim: Let the world draw some other conclusion about the purpose of the meeting!

The plan for military action appears to have been well discussed and agreed upon in advance. Trump’s date for announcing that the honorless Americans were not going honor the Iran nuke deal was set by US law, which demanded either an announcement or another waiver to be signed by May 12. It appears that what would happen around this date was indeed well discussed and planned by the Axis of Evil long in advance of this date. It is highly unlikely that these actions were somehow planned on the fly while little Bibi was in Moscow.

“..Russia could be accused of “trolling” the “Israeli” leader by demonstrating to him that the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the men who liberated Europe from fascist rule have now liberated Syria from Takfiri rule…”

“Netanyahu’s presence in Moscow represents in the strongest possible terms that the two leaders have achieved an operational modus vivendi, allowing the Israeli and Russian militaries to work out a deconfliction system for their air forces and air defenses. Russia has consistently demonstrated its willingness to tolerate attacks by Israel against shipments of weapons and weapons depots that are either supporting the Iranians or Hezbollah.”

Sure, but will that change anything in the way they operate? Serbian (in name only) president Vucic was the second invitee to the parade and he’s in the same “league” of Russian friends as Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili. He has done everything the Anglo-Zionists have asked him to do in order to completely destroy Serbia’s economy, army, family cohesion, independent media and the Serbian Orthodox Church. In a few months he’ll recognize occupied Kosovo, the cradle of Serbian civilization, as an independent country. He’s next order after that is to get full membership of North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation, the same gang of psychopathic murderers that viscously bombed Serbia for 78 days with depleted uranium. Vucic’s MI6 handlers (cough) advisers no doubt couldn’t wait to hear what VVP told him about the effectiveness of latest Russian weapons in the Syrian theater of war.

It can be that the time has come for Syrian leadership to start a “new” relationship with Israel, but this can only be done in a general ” peace ” environment .
With the American government walking out of the nuclear deal with Iran ( + heavy sanctions) with the aim of changing the Iranian leadership ( may be with war if necessary ) and by this way altering all the equilibriums of the middle east , how can we call this a “peace” environment ?

Netanyahu at the Victory parade is reprehensible, but it seems the intended audience for Moscow’s equivocator diplomacy is US allies. It’s not the USSR, they have to be the grown up who can broker between parties impartially to disprove the propaganda. Israel doesn’t have the right to exist, but it does, and Moscow is becoming a major power that any nation can trust. They are agreement capable and show that their genuine interest is peace and mutual development. While the resistance axis PR is terrible, it is a sign that Russia’s soft power is growing.

My impression was that yin and yang were side by side – good and evil – for the whole world to see. This is the time of confrontation – the final dialectic, inevitable confrontation. Let’s see; but, I think that we will be very surprised with the future events.

Yin and Yang Cannot be “side by side”.
That would imply they are normally opposites. They aren’t.
Yin and Yang are complimentary to each other and thus part of a whole.
Just as the greatest compliment of energy in the Universe is the polar Masculine and Feminine Energy, which each compliment the other to make the wholeness of Life.
But Good and Evil are complimentary too – not side by side, but seeking a balance, in which Good is dominating the Evil that shows us what the Good is.

Yin and yang are terms of the Chinese philosophy. They refer to opposing forces that interact, permanently, in nature, bound together as part of the whole.

This is dialectics – positive energy cannot exist without the negative energy; yet, they repel each other. They have a permanent relationship of attraction and repulsion. Moreover, they are normally opposites and equal at the same time. One may eventually become the other, in an endless process (cycle) of transformation (like matter in Chaos Theory). The idea of balance with one dominating the other does not exist in the universe.

Yin and yang are represented side by side, intermingling, in the famous ‘taichi’ symbol.

<b<This is exactly what I understood when I saw Mr Putin and nutyahoo in the VDay parade, side by side, like in the yin and yang symbol. Some details of their interaction were well described by several commenters above – they did not pass unnoticed. A strong, symbolic message was being sent to the world: Russia is prepared to live together with its opposite as long as is it does not try to dominate it.

What they have in common is that they are opposites in terms of what they represent for the world: Mr Putin represents the good (side), nutyahoo represents the evil (side). It seems that you are saying the same thing that I am saying…

Pray for me. That is all I can say. Pray for the victory of Orthodox Christians over all enemies! Pray for Holy Orthodox Russia. Pray for the liberation of my American motherland and all of what was once Western Christendom from the stranglehold of the Zionist Yoke.

No your wrong, its funny when everyone tries to blame religion. Opportunistic people who get fooled by the life of this world are the scourge of the people. Now for the most part most religions talk against this group of people who try to dominate over others. Its up to the people of the world whether they want to live by a certain code of spirituality or not. That’s the whole point of free will.

Its to simple to just use a sweeping remark and say what you said. When we know greedy people have always been controlling things, and those people never gave one thought towards religion, or any form of spirituality.

Its kind of like people saying “religion is the cause of all wars.” That’s a very shallow view. Because once you look into it, again its opportunistic people who use religion to mobilize the masses for their own personal benefit. Like for example imagine 200 years from now, a person looking at the Iraq War part 2. Their are somethings that could make one believe “Hey look its religions fault.” You and I who live in this era, know for sure their was nothing “religious” about this war. It was purely for materialistic or worldly purpose. Now the people are to blame for viewing religion as such a lowly thing and falling for the tricks of the people at the top. But again is that the religions fault, or the people who got fooled into being a tool for the people at the top?

Again its as simple as human greed which is the problem. The ever wanting need to expand what’s within the grasp of your reach. If anything I would say capitalism is a way bigger scourge then religion. I don’t know what you view religion as, but everything I know about religion teaches the opposite of these things.

@Ahmed: there are many wars that have been fought because of religion. I agree that it is not the religion per se, but the people who abuse it. The fact still stands that because of the existence of religion wars have been fought because religion provides many people the means to show their intolerance.

Right now, Islam is being demonised by most Western governments, and even though that does not mean those government policies reflect the idea of all people, it does reflect it of too many people.

Religion is a convenient tool to brainwash people and to make people more narrow-minded, which means that religion, though perhaps not by choice, is the scourge of mankind. I am sorry, I cannot see it any other way.

Well said and indeed so disappointing to see Putin do nothing about the attacks on Syria (never mind if it relates to Iranians who are there legally). Such attacks are illegal and we all know that nobody cares because it is Israel or the USA which can just ignore all laws and agreements. Perhaps Putin will respond later on to such treachery.
Another big problem remains that there has never been a true and realistic debate about the reality of the holocaust. Only since 1988 did researchers start to work on the crime scene and a lot has happened since that time. Yet nobody is allowed to speak about it, because we have to believe in the fundamentalist dogmas of the HolyCause religion. Huge examinations of facts, technical and physical possibilities have been researched, but I think that as long as it is forbidden to open up debate, Israel will always get away with whatever it likes (which was the whole idea behind their version and black propaganda). It all goes back to disinformation, just as Solzhenitsyn’s “200 Years Together” could not find its way to proper publication. Deception wins.
Regarding the Skripals: it was a first false flag, followed by the 2nd attack by Trump & Co. on Syria, warming up to start this war with Iran. After Iran follows Russia and I assume Putin knows this (Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard is old enough and for all of us to see that it is still unfolding). As fra as the Skripals is concerned: yes, kidnapped and all one is left with is a story without any facts whatsoever. Kidnap them, send a few samples to OPCW in another country (like they did with the Khan Sheikhun false flag) and voila, no more needs to be said and war can start.
Putin, knowing all this, will develop his own plan to see how far it can all go before he can do something realistic about it, which might mean cooperation with China and draw a line in the sand before Russia and thus China fall victim to the New World Order where the Zionists rule (speeding up de-dollarization, together with China, maybe an option?).

The Skripal case is the easier of the two issues to analyze: since the early letter by the British treating physician published in the press stated that only three persons were affected and none for nerve gas poisoning—and since this physician thereafter was prevented by his institution from making further public comment—it was clear that Yulia could never be allowed to return to Russia because everything that she would say would undo the Official Story. Whatever it was, it was not novichok nerve gas poisoning and her testimony would prove this and expose the operation for the hoax that it was. Craig Murray reported that per all the media Yulia was “in coma” until her cousin (not sister—note that her letter says “I worry about you and your dad.”) Victoria released the audio of their illicit phone conversation in which Yulia reports full recovery for herself and her father. So her future silence had to be assured and that meant sequestration, or death (covered by “new identity + relocation”). There could conceivably be a tightly controlled one-time-only public interview akin to the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay “hero security guard” on the Ellen DeGeneres show where Ellen told Jesus Compos’ story for him while he gave assent, but no brainwashing of Yulia would do the job against prolonged exposure to sensitive questioning from interested parties.

We don’t have all or even most of the facts with Putin, but 1) he wants to avoid a hot war at almost all costs to spare the 150 million souls that he protects the carnage, and to develop under peacetime conditions as best he can the Russian economy and society; 2) he has repeatedly stated that morality is something one is free to exercise with a wife or a friend, but among nations only cold-blooded national interests are to be considered; 3) Putin definitely wants to side-step the fraught tensions of Zionism vs. the Arab world, which is not Russian business; 4) Having watched him interact with the Zionists commemorating the Holocaust, I believe that he is deeply moved by their suffering, identifies it with the Russian losses during the Great Patriotic War, and probably does not understand the monstrous Zionist land grab and devious plotting that began half a century before WWII and that were implemented as ethnic cleansing before May 15, 1948, i.e., that he is historically uninformed and his sympathies may lie with “little Israel” trying to survive against an Iran that does want to see the criminal Zionist regime swept from power; 5) the Atlantic Integrationists remain a potent force within Russia with whom Putin is obliged to make concessions, while Medvedev has superficially earned points by posturing as a nationalist as when, for example, he denounced the August 2017 US sanctions as ending hope for improving relations with Russia and being “impossible to reverse.” So he may seem an acceptable choice to Putin.

I would like to think that Putin is working a larger strategy to stay away from war while Bolton, Pompeo & Trump alienate Europe with their anti-JCPOA hubris and start a tectonic shift of re-alliances, and perhaps so pace Alexander Mercouris who is convinced Europe will sputter and protest then fold, but I think his primary motivation remains, insofar as it is possible, to avoid a hot war that risks escalation—and this means giving short shrift to allies, or even abandoning them, and ignoring insults in ways that, at least in the movies, someone of heroic stature never does. This does not feel good to us, but Putin understands that this is not the movies.

In the long term, if there is no war, then its obvious that the US and the west is in decline and that the center of power is shifting towards China.

If there does have to be a war, insisted on by the declining west, its better for Russia and China if time passes before the war begins.

Putin made his “Listen to Us” speech announcing that new Russian weapons had completed testing. But there is some distance between a weapon having completed testing and having stockpiles of the weapon manufactured and ready to use with troops and officers fully trained and drilled on their use. We also know that the Chinese weapon industry is advancing and producing better weapons.

Putin and Xi know that time is on their side. Meanwhile, the west and their many millions spend on ‘countering Russian propaganda’ will of course try to convince Russia’s and China’s people and supporters that this is somehow wrong and evil and that of course the war must begin today.

1) he wants to avoid a hot war at almost all costs to spare the 150 million souls that he protects the carnage, and to develop under peacetime conditions as best he can the Russian economy and society; 2) he has repeatedly stated that morality is something one is free to exercise with a wife or a friend, but among nations only cold-blooded national interests are to be considered;

This is why I disagree with the pessimism shown by Saker and others here. Nutyahoo was determined to have a show of strength and apparently asked for the meeting with Putin to inform him personally. I can envision Putin giving bibi a two part response:

Go ahead and do your token attack, but know that if you hit anything important, S-300s are coming the following week.

And – if you even accidentally kill al-Assad consider what the mindset of his successor will be and know he will be provided with all the arms he needs.

I see Putin’s primary strategy here as not defeating the West, but just holding it at bay until dollar decline takes the U.S. to a soviet style collapse.

YES! It makes sense. A lot of sense. Mr Putin does not do anything without a purpose. I cannot believe that nutyahho has any power to bend him. No. It is the other way round. Let’s wait and see. We will.

Dear Saker, It is just an aside but, as a MD, I could not avoid wondering hearing Yulia’s voice talking to her sister. According to the Brit story, that happened a few days after her being taken out of a long “artificial coma”. Her voice and breathing were, however, completely normal which is impossible after a severe sickness incl. artificial ventillation. In my opinion, the official account and timeline are completely bogus.

A friend of mine a car crash years ago, and got into coma. When she came back from it, she had cognitive problems for about 2-3 months: she had difficulties following conversations, could not remember words… I was surprised when I heard Yulia talking to her relative – she was very awake and aware. Something is not really right, here…

You might not be aware that although Medvedev has been appointed PM, Kudrin is apparently being put in a safe place – as Head of the Audit Chamber, a relatively harmless office tasked with the responsibility of making sure auditing standards are kept and that the budget is being spent as intended – an immense relief for me. This, according to an article in Tass today –

As for the Skripals, here in Britain it is widely assumed that the media has been issued a D-Notice, a tool the government uses to order the media to keep quiet on a subject concerning ‘national security’ (*eyes rolled*). And if you recall, some weeks back it was mentioned that the CIA has offered to bring the Skripals over to the USA for protection under the witness protection programme in the States. This would, of course, change their identities and we would never hear from them again. More likely, they would be placed in a maximum security facility and never allowed to se the light of day again.

Last time I looked at the map, IRAN was surrounded by yankee flags and PNAC’s nasty ‘uni-polar’ promise to smash the Middle East. Stars and stripes icing the ‘full spectrum dominance’ cake on three sides;
the blue criss-cross triangular falseflag of the apartheid asylum, the other.
Within the known knowns -YINON expansionist agenda, Nakbar, Mossadeq and IAEA to guide the exceptionalist mission creep, war is still not inevitable, if courage and wisdom and peace prevail.
But the madness of TRUMP and the 911 conspiratorial guilt of Netenyahu/Milekowski make it more likely. Especially now, as, hung in the twin sack beneath the USAMO missile,
is the Saudi horror.
Allied to BB.
Identifying the real axis of evil
hung beneath the dog of war.

I enjoyed the immortal regiment with tears in my eyes, its probably the only time of the year I do cry. This year it appeared bigger than ever probably so in all 12 timezones of Russia. It filed me with warmth and hope for humanity. This is a perfect example why Russia can’t be defeated.

But it was of course deeply disturbing to have the evil narcissistic impostor Benny Mileikowski aka Yahoo strutting around the red square and seeing him at the front of the I.R was akin to have Hitler himself there. Nazism and Zionism, two evil rotten fruits next to eachother on the same branch.

Being yet another of the Saker’s most pessimistic posts though, I find it hard to believe that VVP would cave now in and let18 years of his life work of building up Russia and strengthen her defences, go down the drain. There is simply no logic behind that whatsoever. Even if it were Russians and the people behind him wouldn’t allow that.

@mikhas; agree. I don’t know if this might make you feel a bit better about Bibi’s presence in the post-parade walk but, he certainly appeared to be nervously look back over his shoulder at the crowd behind him an awful lot.

I certainly agree – I think they are dead – alarm bells first range when the public were only told Yulia was out of a coma 2hrs after Russian TV broadcast the telephone conversation with her Cousin. Had they not done this, we would still be under the impression she was still in a coma. Sergei is most definitely not in hospital other than in the Morgue if he is. Further alarm bells rang when we were told the CIA were offering Yulia and Sergei new identities under the Witness Protection programme. Why would they do this? They have nothing to gain from the Skripals. I believe it is directly linked to the Steele Dossier, recent activity related around it and the real possibility that Sergei was going to go public on something. They are dead for sure. Truly scandalous actions by the British Government and the media say nothing. Where are our investigative journalists when we need them?

“Witness protection” in this context is like the perfect crime.
The putatuve aim of witness protection—namely, to *protect* the witness through anonymity—is the perfect cover for eliminating the real people entirely and using their disappearance as evidence for the effectiveness of the witness protection program. .
Diabolical.
My antennae sure started twitching when I read that. It seems utterly gratuitous within the supposed actual context. So, the supposed actual context must not be the real context of the poisonings.
The Skripal incidenct/episode is very, very weird.
Katherine

It is understandable how disappointing the apparent cave in of Putin is.
But remember that the target of all that is Russia itself. The Armageddon scenario, or the Ezekiel, or the Gog-Magog was drawn 200 years ago. The most important feature of it is a catastrophic defeat of Gog Magog in Syria. For 200 years a relentless action of intoxicating the minds that Gog-Magog IS Russia and Persia took place in parallel with creating the conditions for the elimination of any danger that Russia can come to the help of Christians in the ME (Crimean War, the Revolution which stopped the advance of the Russians into the Ottoman Empire, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood to fight their influence under the guise of ‘fight against Communism’). A defeat of the Russians there is eagerly awaited by the hundreds of million of brainwashed zombies called ‘evangelical Christians’ (Christian Zionists, Baptists, Jehovists). Russia must not engage in that fight which would weaken her defense at home where nobody in their right mind would dare to attack.

However, it is first catastrophic for antiChrist Zion as the armies that surround Jerusalem could not do so unless the whole of Israel proper had been put down first. So Gog and Magog performs the useful function of purging the land of its anti-Christ stronghold prior to the Lords occupation, who is Christ, where he leaves but the sixth part of Gog Magog to return home with their tails between their legs. Thing is, Israel isn’t exactly the land of unwalled villages that is ripe for anyone to just walk into. It is well defended, so not making much sense of that aspect of things at the moment.

Excellent article. I share similar sentiments that the Skripals are being held in some kind of prison incommunicado. And I likewise have less sympathy for Sergei than Yulia.

My latest bogs have shown my concern for Yulia, since she is the innocent party in what I consider to be a false-flag event to denigrate Russia. I started a petition on her behalf. I will link it in an answer to this comment. But other people have been unable to see it and the petition after a promising start has died a death at the murderous hands of our spooks.

I totally agree with this article. As for the first half I’ve thought the same. And with the second half. I think they are being brained washed. They may not even be in the UK anymore. There was talk of them being “sent” to the US. And that may be the case. The British want to make this story go away.Just like with what happened with the MH17 story. They “served there purpose” of demonizing Russia. So now when both stories have fallen apart,they disappear from the news.Leaving in peoples minds only the attack on the “evil Putin” as a reminder.

My comment is related to the “major developments” that The Saker has mentioned at the beginning of his article.

I think it is important that people are able to state their opinions (within limits) about Russia or Putin without always being called “trolls”, “disinformation-trolls”, “anti-Russian”, etc.

I am sensing a lot of emotionally charged comments from certain people in the alt-media against people who are critical of Russian policy. I understand these reactions if they are aimed at people who believe that it is Russia’s responsibility to save the world. If you see people who are emotionally charged and blaming Russia for not saving the world, call them on that point….tell them to cool the hell down, after all they are human. They are not all political analysts or qualified on certain topics, and therefore possibly shouldn’t even be posting without going outside and having a walk.

But just because there are people who do not agree with certain issues on Russia or Putin or for example wanting Russia to have a certain role that it does not have at the moment, does not mean they are all trolls or people trying to spread disinformation or anti-Russian propaganda.

It is as if because Russia is the better alternative to the US-Western-Zionists, for this reason people are not allowed to criticize Russia…..this is ridiculous.

Just like people who believe Russia has to save the world should educate themselves and come back to reality……so do the people who are blanketing others who are critical of Russian policy as trolls, agents of disinformation and anti-Russian, should open their minds to critical thought if conducted with respect, sincerity and logic.

The point is that after all that Russia has done to support Assad in Syria, will it allow Israel to destroy everything that has been won in recent years? Also, if Israel does not see a Russian response, it will attack with more force and destroy most of Syria’s defenses. All this may allow the creation of new groups of mercenaries and terrorists to restart the war against Assad.

Rolando, Syria has proved that it can handle whatever the Zionist cowards send, and have also proven that the Zionists can not handle what they receive in return.
Relax and be assured Russia is still helping and supporting Syria; have you forgotten that RuF have networked SyAD in to their matrix?
All is good.

A bleak picture everywhere. Nation states in Europe are beginning a process of quick dissolution, starting with Spain, where the Catalan national movement is a long planned beach head in this process. The new “Europe of the Regions” will be even more amenable to bend over comletely to global corporate rule than it already is. They are presenting this as “federalization”. Brazil has been completely taken back over into the fold. Argentina, which already was a “sovereign” country only in name, has just gone begging to the IMF to be “rescued”. Russia has made it clear it will take anything from Zion, including receiving its Prime Minister on Victory Day while he bombs the country that Russia is supposed to be protecting for its own strategic interest. Enormous efforts and convolutions are being made to present the Kremlin’s behavior in a positive spin, even going as far as commenters here suggesting that Putin is “deeply moved” by the suffering of the Zionists because of the Holocaust, and “doesn’t understand” their intentions. Good Lord. Last time there was a big international sports event in Russia, Ukraine was hit and grabbed. There is another major sports event coming…

Catalonia was slated as being the cornerstone of a ‘Union for the Mediterranean’ which would integrate Israel into the EU structures under the cover of a “process to foster cultural and economic unity in the Mediterranean region”, the so-called ‘Barcelona Process’. At the same time to serve as the entry gate for the Muslim immigration into Europe.

UK’s deepstate is protected both ways. Earlier they stated that the Skripals were “permanently damaged” by the nonexistent poison. So anything the Skripals say from now on can be ignored as the ravings of an unfortunate brain-damaged retard.

It’s funny how the media can direct the narrative so that stories simply disappear from the headlines and no one notices. The Skripals did just that, and the only conclusion I can draw is that they’ve done their job by keeping the evil Russian meme in play long enough for the next bogus story to fill the airways (the Douma false flag), and now even that is starting to recede from the front pages.

It’s as if the Fourth Estate have some kind of collective ADD that prevents them from focusing for prolonged periods on any event, even important ones. Curiously, that only seems to be the case when the story is no longer supportive of the Zionist narrative. If OTOH the story is helpful to the Greater Israel project, then it stays in the headlines forever.

The Skripals are no longer needed. The logical conclusion is that the media collectively have been told not to ask questions by their Zionist owners and they are hoping the story will simply fade from memory long enough for a plausible accident to occur to the unfortunate couple.

The question then becomes, why didn’t the Zios simply kill the Skripals from the start? Wouldn’t that have been better for them? Yes, it would, so i’m of the opinion that the plot was botched in some way, perhaps because the perpetrator didn’t have sufficient time to administer the poison effectively or because someone found the couple sooner than they thought and were thus able to get them to a hospital earlier than the plotters hoped. Or maybe they were rushed to the wrong hospital, one that really wanted to cure them? We may never know.

“It’s as if the Fourth Estate have some kind of collective ADD that prevents them from focusing for prolonged periods on any event, even important ones. ” — yes, it’s called “Rupert Murdoch” media and Saudi Regime finance.

Putin may have just been keeping his powder dry while all these balls are in the air. The one thing this week has brought us is Trump pulling out of the Iran deal. With all other players, at least at this point, indicating they will stay in, this has an excellent chance of putting a major wedge between the US and the Europeans.

Played right, this could have significant implications. Playing it right for Putin means holding back in the face of provocations. This Iran issue could see the Europeans working outside the confines of their usual vassalage and pursuing their own interests with, in this case, Russia, China and Iran. It could be, in the words of Joe Biden, “a big f’ing deal”. Watch the neo-cons heads explode if this happens. Putin obviously doesn’t want to rock the boat at a time like this.

And, if it doesn’t pain out and the Euros go running back to hide under the US’s skirt, then at least Putin knows he gave it his best shot and can proceed apace in a more expected manner.

I believed that Salisbury was a fake pre-planned operation, right from the start. The reason for this, was that the press were covering the story, and taking photos, even of men in chemical protection suits, fire engines etc, on the first evening, when the only information released was that two people were ill and throwing up on a park bench, and that fentanyl misuse was the supected cause. Such an event, would normally generate no press interest whatsoever, and two people being ill in such a state, would at best be lucky to have someone call an ambulance for them.

In my view, the press, or people purporting to be the press, and the men in suits, must have been pre-warned, to be there so quickly. Unfortunately people in England throw up on park benches quite regularly. It is normally through drinking too much alcohol. It is not a news event.

As to what actually happened to the Skripals, one can only speculate. I strongly suspect they were part of the operation, and they probably have not been harmed, and given new identities and lots of money. This would be far safer than killing them. Lots of people look just like them. They may not even have been there, with lookalikes taking their parts, as happens in dangerous movie scenes on a regular basis.

The entire operation was a psy-op. It was designed to change public opinion. There was absolutely no need to kill or harm anyone. The one telephone call from Yulia was probably genuine. The story can now go away, and be forgotten. I suspect the Russian Government have been briefed all about it. There is little point in them telling the truth, as no one will believe them.

No one will believe my view of events either. I have no proof of anything written above. I merely observed, the story from home almost right from the beginning. I may very well be wrong.

Putin totally ignored Boobie at the Victory Parade. He spent his time talking to Alexander Vučić, the Serbian president. He even moved Boobie out of the front line when the security service team were a little too forceful, with a WW II vet who wanted to speak to Putin. The vet took Boobie’s place on the front line.

Yes, indeed, I saw that little event and thought it looked 100% staged for the camera (little wave an all). However, I had not noticed Nutty being displaced into 2nd row. Nice symbolism of where Russian priorities lay. However, I’m not sure Alexander Vučić, the Serbian president, got the attention at the expense of Nutanyahoo. At the end ‘carnation’ laying Vučić looked very much the demurring odd man out of the three. Alexander Vučić was there by invitation, whereas the Israeli basically gatecrashed the party it seems. Putin handled it all very well although he looked a little bored. Been around the circus too many times perhaps.

Little Bibi is famous for getting himself invited to meetings where he wasn’t really welcome, and then forcing himself into the front row of photographs like he was somehow important. I seem to recall a G-20 or some such meeting where Little Bibi pulled exactly this sort of stunt.

My understanding is that Yulia (Iulia) and Viktoria are cousins. Could she have used the word Сестрёнка to show that they were very close cousins. Are are they actually sisters? There is so much misinformation about this that even family relationships can be obfuscated.

Well, for some people, i.e. Poles, first cousins are actually considered almost siblings.
Poles call them “brat cioteczny/wujeczny/stryjeczny for ladies it would be siostra cioteczna/wujeczna/stryjeczna”.
So: brat => brother, siostra => sister.
I realize it’s complicated but I need to add that stryjek = father’s brother, wujek=mother’s brother, ciocia=father’s/mother’s sister.
In Polish kuzyn => cousin and that’s reserved for next generational step like second or third cousin. West is using Greek system first/second/third cousin.
I hope this clarifies, why Julia calls her first cousin => sister. Actually calling her sestrionka (little sister), could indicate that she puts her closer to her heart than sestra=sister.

To clarify the kinship (cousins) between Julia and Viktoria – it is quite common for Russians to call cousins “sister” (sestra) or “brother” (brat) instead of the longer name “dvoiurodnaia sestra” (second line sister), “dvoiurodnyi brat”. So they are really cousins, nothing else.
Obviously Polish names for cousins follow a similar pattern.

We have russian word ‘cousin’ but it is high speech in Russia, used in literature and may be some heraldic papers.
We use ‘dvoyurodnaya sestra’ when describe our family ties, and we use simply ‘sister’ when address each other.

“Bibi Netanyahu invited to Moscow to the Victory Day Parade in spite of him bombing Syria, a Russian ally, just on the eve of his visit”

This suggests that Russia initiated these events. This is not the case. Netanyahu contacted Russia to request an urgent meeting with Putin to discuss Iran. This was a cynical move by Netanyahu, knowing the earliest date Putin would be in Moscow would be May 9, and the Russians would invite him to the parade as simple courtesy.

At the parade, Putin ignored Netanyahu and spent most of his time talking to Alexander Vucic, the Serbian President. Later on Vucic, Putin and Netanyahu were walking away, surrounded by security teams. The security team forced away a WW II veteran who inadvertantly got too close. Putin noticed this, stopped to shake hands with the veteran and invited him to walk alongside Vucic and himself. Netanyahu was relegated to the second row.

I wonder how much Putin is hostage to the world cup – is it possible that Putin knows the West wants to use any means possible to derail the games, yet for Putin they are of immense importance as a propaganda or goodwill tool? Having them yanked at the last minute would be extremely humiliating for Russia/Putin – ergo for the next two month Russia is all but powerless as any resistance would immediately be used as an excuse to cancel the games………far fetched? look what they did during the last winter Olympics and the doping lies……

Indeed, it crossed my mind that Putin may well have agreed to meet Nutanyahoo in Moscow 9th to tell him f2f that any ziomossad ‘bother’ with airport system business during World Cup will entail removing Israel from the map by the end of the month, … smiling over a cup of tea, of course.
/dreaming

Russia is in a very good situation from both a conventional and nuclear point of view, hence Putin is now concentrating on Russia’s economic aspects. Syria is safe, just some few more NATO irregulars to attrition into non-existence there, which is a foregone conclusion no matter how much bombing Syria is subjected to.

Whether Israel or Armenia exist or don’t exist is not exactly of great importance to Russia at the moment. Chechnya mattered, Syria matters and Iran matters (even if it gets bombed a little also).

The gains in Syria need to be reinforced and the Shia crescent from Iran to Syria strengthened and the whole of Iran, Iraq and Syria turned into a prosperous economic zone. Israel and NATO are always going to be bombing Syria and probably Iran in the future, so Iran needs to develop better weaponry, like accurate and maneuverable ballistic missiles and anti-aircraft missiles which can take out Israeli jets in Lebanon. Even give the goat herders there on the Lebanese mountains manpads. Iran must make things very costly for Israel and NATO.

Give them plenty of targets in Syria, while using those tunnel boring machines captured from the NATO irregulars to build massive underground complexes resistant to Israel’s irritations. No more leaving ordnance in the open to be bombed by the Israelis at will.

Eventually the time will be right to take back the Golan Heights, and it will be none of Russia’s concern.

I totally disagree with the bashing of Russia and Putin, in the sense they don’t stand up fot their allies, don’t slap NutcaseYahoo when he should etc. etc.
Really, politics won’t work that way. Nutty certainly wanted to make an Impression, granted. Putin left it at that, God bless him. He was probably considering the following:
1. ‘Chussia’ will not lose Iran to the West, no matter what. Putin had to reign in the persian fighters often enough. And, sorry to say, he will not ditch and jeopardise his so far extremely successful play due to a couple of Iranian Military. Many soldiers’ lives are on the line, and the Overall geopolitical trend is far more important than short term revenge
2. Same for Syria. Syrians and Assad have enough reason to kneel down in gratitude to Russia for the next 200 generations. The Russians handled the entire air defense. If Damaskus still stands, it’s thanks to Russia.
3. Nutty and his fellow IDF nutcases had to realise Russiab tech superiority. I heard 3/4 of Israeli missiles were shot down whilst the Iron dome performed sub-par. That was certainly not in the script.
4. Besides, you just don’t beat up a neurotic and in many ways retarded child, especially if it is paying you a visit on your holiest of holidays.

Russia has within 3 yrs completely reversed the gepolitical chessboard. A bit more trust in his abilities is in order.

We know the Brits would love the propaganda victory of trotting the Skirpals out to have them back up the Brit story. We know they could do that, even if the Skirpals are (or have been made) afraid of a Russian attempt to kill them (as described to them by the British captors). We’ve certainly seen the guy in the so-called Russian sports doping story trotted out and allowed to do interviews with his face blacked out or something similar. Interviews with mobsters in “witness protection” have certainly been done in the past.

The part about not being allowed to talk to Russian diplomats is also strange. As The Saker notes, this could easily be safely arranged.

Which seems to leave the obvious conclusion that the Skirpals don’t want to tell the propaganda line. The Brits obviously feel they can’t trust the Skirpals to be anywhere near a Russian diplomat or even a tame propaganda “interviewer”. Or perhaps, the Brits have already tried to do a tame, controlled propaganda interview, and the result was that they had to destroy the video and couldn’t even edit it down to a propaganda broadcast as the results were so “bad: from the Brit point of view. I can picture something like both of them screaming “Help, we’ve been kidnapped!” as soon as a camera was turned on.

The Brits can’t even trot one of the Skirpals out for a tame propaganda interview. And this has been true right from the beginning, as the Brits couldn’t even allow an interview with one of them in a hospital bed answering even a couple of questions.

Remember, we have no real proof at all that the Skirpals were even actually poisoned. The only thing we have are UK police statements about a couple found on a bench. Just like, we only have the UK police statement saying that their captives don’t want to talk to anyone. The only “evidence” is supplied entirely by the UK police and we have only their word as to where it was found or collected.

At this point, the only conclusion that can be reasonably drawn is that it is “highly likely” that the Skirpals are telling such a different story that PM May has ordered them kept in total seclusion.

Remember, we have no real proof at all that the Skirpals were even actually poisoned. The only thing we have are UK police statements about a couple found on a bench…..

You are right, I was thinking the same for very long time and I just kept for myself, this is first time I post here a comment.

It is also sad that the Russian media like Russia Today didn’t once said “allegedly” they just report from word to word what says the UK government.

I think it was all acting, very good acting.
The acting is the only way to explain the discrepancy in this story.
To believe in this story is an insult to our intelligence, to our inquiring mind.
Sorry for my English.

In ice hockey, every winning team has a ‘Pest’. That’s the player whose role is to forecheck and ‘get in the face’ of the opposing players. The Pest draws the game in his direction, gets the talented opponents frustrated and draws penalties from the big ‘Enforcers’.

But The Pest doesn’t fight because they aren’t the real ‘muscle’ on their team. Once the opposition gets frustrated and moves to ‘cap’ the Pest, in comes the Pest’s best pal, a huge, lumbering Defenceman…you know, the really big, slow farm kid who tosses haybales like horseshoes seven nights a week at home. That’s the player that doesn’t make any ‘heat’ until the key time, but their sheer strength and size decides everything at once.

You don’t know how many championships have been won by a big, slow kid who slowly moves into a key position to score the winning goal while the Pest draws all the heat. I think the player to watch in all this is the big Chinese kid on D…that’s the one that’ll drop the hammer if the gloves come off.

Forget the Skripals! War against Iran is on the table right now – threatening total nuclear war.

It is now time for Russia to declare Iran to be an ally, and commit to defending it by all means if it is attacked. If they do not do this right away, then they will in due time fall prey to the Empire’s War Machine. With Putin’s March announcement of Russia’s new weapons, the Pentagon realized that time was not on their side, and so have stepped up the preliminary attacks on Syria and Iran. It is time for Putin to make his stand, lest he meet the fate that all appeasers meet. Iran is the front line of America’s war on Russia – This red line must be defended at all costs. There is still a chance to avoid all out nuclear war if Russia stands firm and uses it’s new conventional weapons to defend Iran.

Again, no, that is totally unnecessary. Persia will not be lost to the West anyway. It is already firmly in the Belt & Road Corner, thanks to the abject stupidity of the US. Zzzzbinjev Brzcczczczczezsrefinskis worst dream has already become reality.

When Shawn Bourke returned from Moscow (where he delivered George Blake to USSR, after he managed the escape!)..when he returned, even then, nobody kidnapped him. Rather, BBC interviewed him and he became a fair success, and alas, drank himself into the here-after (alas, those hungry ghosts we carry). The point is that he was not much bothered by UK…

When Belinko stole a MiG 25 and flew into Japan, the Japanese permitted the USSR to interview him…and he (I understand) lives to-day on a CIA pension (and stays pretty drunk, I think). Again, nobody kidnapped Belinko… The US finally sent the MiG back to USSR (in pieces).

The Skirpals must know something of great import within the scope of active plans… repeat: Active Plans

If Russia thinks they can hunker down within their own borders, and refuse to fight for Syria and Iran against the Empire’s increasing attacks, they are mistaken and will find themselves pushed into a corner, surrounded by their enemies and cut off from any outside help. Russia is being pushed to make a fateful decision: stand up to the Empire now, or die a slow death of a thousand cuts.

MI6 and CIA were reported to be floating the idea of assigning them new identities and a new (no doubt a very protected and well watched) life somewhere else, quite possibly against their will. Sounds like the highest order of political damage control.

If the Skripals were treated (for whatever – certainly not Novochik) – have the entire staff in Salisbury Hospital – including porters,cleaners, maintenance been made to sign the Official Secrets Act? With approx 2750 full time staff – surely at least one of them could have confirmed/denied whether there was/is a Ward that has been sealed off from the rest of the hospital with armed guards in situ?! Or were the Skripals taken to the Medical Unit at Porton Down?

I thought more about BN’s (Milejkowski) visit and I am coming to conclusion that the visit was intended for two or more reasons:
1. Iran/Syria
2. Personal, as he is from Belarus? (I’m guessing here). I often wondered does he speak Russian when he communicates with Putin?

As for Vucic. Vucic is of importance to Putin, unlike the BN, because the war for Serbia goes on in the underground and Putin wants Serbia on his side, as well as he wants Serbians to know that he is with them.

@Saker,
Not that I have Putin’s ear, but from what he said I am guessing that his priority number one is: “Stay out of any conflicts that could jeopardize his fellow Russian well being”.
I do not know, but just perhaps Medvediev is a good manager, and possibly they have very good personal and working relationship.

What if Russias opening attacks at the onset of WWIII attack the root of the problem, and instead of firing at the militaries, directed the attack on the house of Rothschild, or the Bank of International Settlements or central banks, or the estates or underground bunkers of the Bilderberg billionaires, allowing of course for sufficient defense and counterattack against the militiaries attacking or counterattacking it as well?

With the price of oil going up there is no reason for Putin to act rashly. At $70/barrel America’s economic leverage over Russia is slight, at $80 practically nil. Fracking in the US is reaching it’s limit and the Saudi’s can’t produce enough to keep the price down anymore.

America’s presence in Syria is another hole in the leaky Imperial bucket. How long can the US’s military be so overextended without destroying it’s fighting capacity or bankrupting itself? The kinetic part of the war is only to give time to allow the Russians to win on the financial front.

As for the Informational War, will the EU continue to be pathetic vassals under heel of a US President they hate. The answer is yes, because the NSA has all the dirt on them. But there is a difference between compliance and conviction. My guess it is the Russian’s who has the latter. If there ever is a direct conflict (non-nuclear) then that will make the decisive difference.

First of all, greetings to Andrei; though I am not ‘religious‘ in the sense of an organized institution, I send blessings for your health and happiness, and strongly recommend that you attend to these priorities, as logically appropriate.

I have witnessed the apparent VVP foo-fooing with some understanding; first the Medvedev nomination, (and other appointments for the new government) and of course, the optics of You-know-who-da at the Victory Day ceremony made me feel a little bit nauseous.

I can understand the consternation, not just on the alternative information sites, but in the Russian media, as well.

What I would like community members to remember is, when it seems so… rounded one (of intelligence and enlightenment) must surely ask oneself, “have I seen this kind of media uniformity before?”
Well, we have.
And most of you here ought to recognize that the empire has vast resources to bear on perception management, and they use it.
Remember, VVP has been the individual who singularly has been more responsible than any other known single person to have thwarted the Oded Yinons (published Zionist strategy for a greater ‘Israel in the Middle East) from destroying yet another MENA nation-state, murdering … millions of people, most of them civilians, a high proportion of mothers and children, and simultaneously sending waves of displaced, traumatized ‘migrants into Europe, where any such cultural incursion of the kind of magnitude we are apparently witnessing (who knows about anything available in the mainstream media), would cause cultural strife and conflict at a local level, stressing everybody out, and creating an environment of antipathy against … arabs, muslims, and generally any off-white-coloured peoples.Now, who-da would want that?!

Back to the apparent negativity towards VVP:
Among many here, there may well be a feeling of… not so much betrayal… perhaps… dispair?!
Many have been hoping beyond hope that this man would be standing for humanity against all of the enemies (let alone the prime figurehead antagonist of humanity).
And this is where I felt a distinctive queasiness in my stomach, The Yahoo at V-Day.

For overcoming such negative feelings, I recommend:
1. mentally reviewing the logical imperative of Eurasian integration for Russia, in the context of the centuries of back-stabbing western Europe (an artificial delineation of a continent, btw) has engaged in against Russia (and Turkey, for that matter); how well-known it is to the astute observer of history, such a startlingly strong trend!
2. you must decide for yourselves upon the durability of your belief in VVP’s intelligence and perseverance, and ultimately dedication to Russia and the Russian people
3. we must be aware that the world has become greatly destabilized with the assumption of titular power by The Dupe in the Z.U.S.A., and that tactical views of affairs, such as changes of government in global geopolitically-relevant nation-states, and ceremonial visits by other head-of-state actors, while ceremonially significant, provide ample platform for distraction from more significant action.

I am not saying it doesn’t look good, but so far, most of the “not good” is relatively insubstantial.
The open initiation of war against a sovereign nation, Syria, by the Zionist Occupation Entity in the Palestinian lands is troubling, but as per the frank statement by a Zionist military commander, this warfare has been going on for most of the proxy war, while Syria has been in a weakened state; so it’s not that much change.

I must address the protagonists of this article, the Skripals, in so much as, “yes” it is disturbing, this affront to the ongoing values-myth of the (so-called) western first-world nations, but as pointed out, this has been a false facade for quite a long while, and the displacement and torture of a couple of people, one a traitor, compared to the millions of lives lost at the efforts of the enemies-of-humanity is not realy too significant.The Skripals case is already an unmitigated propaganda disaster what happens now is the best damage control that can be done, and as we shall see, even at this the western ‘governments’ are displaying their decay and decrepitude, likely the result of the take-over, and placement of ideological drones over capable managers by the highly neurotic parasite of humanity.

In summary, while the recent events, especially concerning events surrounding VVP, seem negative in the short term, one may take some solace in the longer-term trends, tread water a while, and see if there isn’t a re-alignment to those longer term trends.

Remember, the petro-dollar is past the point of return; one way or another, the Z.U.S.A. is going to collapse, the work of isolating countries from the corrupt financial system sponsored by the empire is ultimately insulating those target countries from the collateral damage, when the now rusty and decayed ship goes down.

The crimes of the enemies of humanity are becoming less and less possible to hide, even from the brainwashed ideological drones, whose sub-conscious minds are at great odds with their conscious, waking minds.When cognitive dissonance snaps… it’s going to be a tsunami of anger!

If Russia stands by and let’s Syria and then Iran be destroyed, then they have paved the way for their own destruction. The die is cast. Syria and Iran are the Rubicon the Empire must not be allowed to cross.

Excellent analysis, DissidentX! I’ve been waiting a long time for such a comeuppance, and I feel like engaging in some well-deserved schadenfreude, but I’ve always held off, because the petrodollar collapse never seems to happen. I hope you are right.

Saker, for first time, I am so happy you wrote about this topic, your article “Russia’s Lack of Reaction to Israeli’s Strikes on Syria is Disgusting.”

I am happy to hear real criticism of Putin. I consider Ultranationalists to be the only real defenders of Modern day Russia. Why? Because Modern Day Russia has effectively turned away from her Soviet past. If there is nostalgia it is one thing, but when even KGB Putin has to say Stalin was bad, communism was bad, we failed, we messed up it leads to a conclusion. The Liberals were always weak. The theatrics of Vladislav Surkov, a Chechen btw, were aimed not at liberals. The liberals were always easy for Kremlin to control. Look what they do, it is obvious that the Kremlin can suppress the liberals with the power of the authority and the courts, it is simply enough to have Navalny arrested and ridicule Sobchak, Yavlinsky, and so on. These people did not really pose a threat and the only reason Russia went through 90’s is a reason that I do not hear many mention… Which is that in reality there was a struggle of power between the Communists and the Black Hundreds. In a power vacuum, if a group say, liberals take power, it will be easy for analysts and media to say well look how popular liberalism is in Russia. This is simplistic to say the least, and one has to look at symbols from games and media like Metro 2033, or the Stalkerzone. The Sparta battalion symbol comes from Metro 2033, but the colors represent the Black Hundreds. If you look into the series, there is a civil war being fought between USSR 2.0 and the Black Hundreds. What I am getting at is that in Russian society, there is also a polarization, but it is easy for Kremlin to control the communists, Baburin, Zyuganov, Grudinin, etc. While Zhirinovsky is supposed to represent nationalist Russia, but he is actually a clown who sways a part of the nationalists to the side. But there is a party that no one talks about. Surkov main job was to set factions of the nationalist parties in Russia against each other, because this is the group that actually poses threat to Kremlin. We are not allowed to run in election, not even allowed on television the Yellow, White, and Black flag of Czarist Russia and the black hundreds. This is the group Kremlin fears, and this is the group that Surkov has been penetrating. Soviets and Communists want peace and reconciliation. They still have Lenin in the freaking box, and claim that all is well now that two headed eagle is on flag. Nope, Kerensky flag does not represent reconciliation to us. In reality, we were defeated, executed and assassinated from Stalin a Georgian. There is unhappiness with immigration from central asia, who beheaded and murdered us, and Surkov the Chechen agent also sets Nashi and other groups against each other. Russia still has many problems and there is a lot of anger over the past. The Black Hundreds feel that after the murder of the Czar and the chasing away of so many Russians, and persecution we have been ridiculed and abused in our own country by foreigners. What USA is happening now, happened to Russia already. Ukrainians came, Georgians came, Uzbeks and Kazakhs, and you wonder where Azov and Right sector come from? It is an unresolved wound, festering, and something that will have to be addressed. Crimea did not satisfy us, and to be honest we do not care one speck about Syria. Yes you will say we are nothing, our opinions do not matter but they do. Because soon we will join these protests, the movement has become stronger, and the restoration of Orthodox Church is not Putins doing, this is insult to Czarist patriots. The restoration was coming anyway. It is the Ultranationalist movement that is breaking out of this moribund and decayed Russia. In every aspect, from Crimea to Orthodox Church. This movement has the power to overthrow this Russia and to befriend Ukraine and Belarus, and to gain Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and so on. It is natural, we will be in power some time during this presidency, and mark my words, we will finish Turkey as well. The old conflicts were not resolved, Communists gave everything we fought against to the Turks, and the Muslims of Central Asia. Gave lands to Ukrainian Oligarchs. Kadyrov was really afraid that the massacre would continue. It was our people fighting in Chechnya, while Soviet commanders and liberal politicians were gifting Russian land to the horde. Putin promised him he would contain us. This is the piece of the puzzle that is missing. Everyone is bewildered with Putin because they do not have the full picture. Soon it will all make sense. We do not love Putin, but we are more nationalist then him. He is opportunist, and I feel that media will soon turn against him. I should say he will be okay if he steps down like Sargsyan. We have the will and the might to restore the Russian Empire. Zhizn’ za tsarya! Glory to the Black Hundreds! Glory to real Russia!

BTW it will make sense soon to everyone why Putin is failing even though he is supposedly a grand master of chess. It is because he in not a nationalist, he is in favor of sitting back and appeasing the conflicting Russians. Czarist Russia would have landed in North Anatolia already, The Black Hundreds write Russia Insider, and the black hundreds are the anti jew writers there. They worked with Henry Ford against masons, and jewish oligarchs. There is an alliance with Alt Right, National Front, Golden Dawn, and Black Hundreds. Do you see where this is going? For those who say we are bringing a nuke war, no we are not, Putin brings it because the west knows he is bluffing. This is why they go over him. The west actually fears us. As long as Putin can manage us then they do not care. This is why liberals would have been an alternative for the west, because instead of Putin managing us it would have been Americans directly and the civil war would have come faster. But West provoked this situation funding bolshevism, and now trampling us. So no nuke war will happen long as we have the power, because they understand we will do to them what their Cheka did to us. Slavic countries can keep their identity and flags as it was in Czarist times. Poland and Ukraine will welcome us, because we protect the slavic identity not subjugate and oppress it. Like I said Saker, your job is to support us, you are one of us and you know it. This is why Putin not making sense to people like you and I, Old Russians, White Russians. Crimea lit a flame in nationalist Russia, this is why Putin stopped in Donbass. He saw we wanted even more, and he thought it was enough. We were so ready he ran to Minsk 2 out of fear of us. This is the only truth that makes sense, and we will be visible in coming months

This is very heartening to hear. I think Putin’s equivocation will redound to the nationalists’ cause, and for a variety of spiritual reasons the Third Rome cannot properly be situated without restoral of the monarchy. It will close the 100-year wound created by Bolshevism which, in its modern permutation, is frankly globalism. The operative umbrella term is collectivism, which is itself the relegation (if not the outright repudiation) of the individual soul.

An outsider, I have limited capacity of gauging the veracity of your claim as to the resurgent power of these ultranationalist forces. However I have felt for a long tine that the single greatest crime against Christianity since the crucifixion itself could well be the ritual extermination of the Czar and his family, and that this wrong must be righted decisively in order to restore a cosmic balance.

Both Putin and Trump are ‘regressing to the Zionist mean’, with eerie simultaneity. Interestingly, Putin has done just enough to help foment an actionable enemy against Israel so that it need not be conjured out of whole cloth. On the thinnest of evidence, consciously or not, Iran has been groomed to fulfill this verse:
Isaiah 60. Moreover Russia has played a role ion this grooming process. The most astonishing ME development of the last few years imo was the anticlimactic manner by which Iran’s Revolutionary Guards ‘materialized’ on Israel’s border, brought there under the elliptical means of fighting Isis.

in the period that Messiah the King will be revealed, all the kings of the nations of the world will challenge each other. The king of Persia (Iran) will challenge the king of Arabia (Saudia & adjacent areas) and the king of Arabia will go to the king of Edom [USA]to take his advice. And the king of Persia will seek to destroy the world. and the remaining nations will raise a noise and panic and fall on their faces and will be in the clutches of pains like the labor of a birthing woman. And Israel will raise concern and panic, and ask, where shall we go? Where shall we go? And G-d says to them, my children, be not afraid, for all that I have done, I have done for your sakes, have no fear, your time of redemption has come! [source: “Yalkut Shimoni” on Isaiah 60].

The Chabad affiliations of Trump and Putin has been brought up somewhere on this blog recently. It’s as though both leaders head-faked towards a more robust nationalism only to collapse into the same old familiar arms.

{Dear Moderator: my last comment failed to make it up here, I’m guessing not from the controversiality of its subject matter, but rather an inadvertent deletion? thx}

Mod: Don’t know. A different moderator was on duty before me. My advice would be to “stick to the topic” (the Skripal thread) and try to avoid going off into long religious pronouncements which are likely to be sent to the Trash file.

I am more disgusted than I can say at the rush to condemn Putin for the Netanyahu incident.
There is a very true admonishment “the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour”.
Has anything Putin has ever done in the incredibly stressful, dangerous years he has spent pulling Russia’s chestnuts out of the fire, been to the detriment of Russia?
He has his own methods, and for many they are too slow, too subtle, and not “Western” enough. In other words, Putins would be in general favour had be bombed Israel to smithereens, and to hell with his own conscience in having killed thousands of innocent children, to hell with the millions of Russians America would kill in the ensuing War.
We dont know how N’hu got to Moscow, and that’s a fact.
These high level meetings follow months of protocol discussions, arriving at the agenda of topics for discussion, other persons to be present, place, etc. Usually anything “agreed” at such a meeting was agreed months before.
We dont know if, in the intricacies of this meeting it was some Presidential Aide who mistakenly asked N’hu on Victory Day. Once there, there was no other course than to invite him to the parade.
I watched Putin closely during the televised procedure. He placed a veteran between himself and both visitors.
He leaned across the veteran to talk to the Serbia President a couple of times. I never saw him talk to Bibi. When they walked, he walked away from him, and even picked up an abused veteran and placed him beside him shoving N’hu to the back. He couldn’t have been more cold and distant. I got the feeling that he didn’t want N’hu there, but had to put up with it with as good a grace as could.
Re Medvedev, he gave his reasons. He pointed out that Medvedev had brought in a new management style of openness and discussion, had achieved several major goals and at a time when the country was under Sanctions and other stress. He also pointed out that the plan for the future, which he outlined in his Presidential address, has in fact been going on for the last 18 months very successfully, that Medvedev had headed this, and that it made sense to keep the same team working.
I am so sick of reading in the so called Alt-Med the sort of stuff I could read in any MSM.
I’m beginning to wonder with many people, just how “Alt” the “Alt med” is.

Yes the Putin bashing is getting very tiresome now – I actually wasn’t going to comment under this article until I saw your heart felt comment.

It was said under another post that BN was at the VD celebration because Israel is now making VD (9th May) a national holiday – one of the few countries doing so – unlike Armenia where the new PM has just cancelled the celebrations and embraced the EU’s with insulting reasons why.
There are many Great Patriotic War vets in Israel too. So BN’s working visit to Russia and meetings with Putin were tied up with a national holiday in Israel. As you describe above Putin didn’t really engage with BN during the whole parade and put a war vet above him and front and centre as they left Red Square and went to the tomb of the unknown soldier. Also BN got to see all the Russian service men and women – some from Syria, their military hardware and planes and a reminder of how much Russia suffered in GPW too. (I am no fan of BN or Israel – this isn’t what this is about and I think this is being missed by many).

I just read an interesting article by Alexander Mercouris which I think gets closest to what the Israelis were doing attacking Syria this week:

Basically they were testing out the Syrian air defence systems……its always smoke and mirrors with the A/Z’s (Iran an excuse for the attacks)…..something everyone should bear in mind……

Things aren’t always what they seem.

In regard to the Skripals – the Rus Embassy posted this:

“On 10th May Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko met with Director General, Consular and Security at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Philip Barton. The Ambassador stated that the whole range of circumstances around the Salisbury incident involving Sergei and Yulia Skripal compel Russia to qualify the situation as a forced detention or even abduction of Russian nationals. Statements circulated by the police on behalf of Yulia Skripal are impossible to verify. There is no proof of the Russian nationals being alive and well, and not being held against their will……”

“Below is a comprehensive post-incident assessment from the SAA FB folks, who have the best connections within the Syrian forces and associated command structures.

– Late yesterday evening the Israeli military conducted a number of artillery strikes against a Syrian Army post in Khan Arnabea which led to SAA returning fire by firing a number of mortars against the source of Israeli fire.

– Israel did not stop its attack and launched a number of recon drones to sweep the borders over the airspace of the occupied-Golan Heights without entering Syrian Airspace.

– Israel brought a Merkava Tank which fired 6 random shots into al-Baa`th city inal-Quneitra which led to SAA’s Tank Hunters dealing with the situation according to the rules of engagement.

– Israel fired a long-range Stand-Off missile into Damascus International Airport which was intercepted and destroyed by SyAAD ~30km Southeast of Damascus.

– The Syrian 7th Division was given an order to strike 4 Israeli military establishments inside the occupied-Golan Heights; at 00:00 a barrage of 40 rockets were fired at these military establishments.

– The Israeli airforce quickly escalated the situation by launching several long-range Stand-Off missiles at a number of Syrian targets in and around Damascus, and three targets in Homs.

– SyAAD foiled the first three waves of attacks by Israel which forced the Zionists to resort to surface-to-surface missiles.

– After Israel’s 3rd wave of missiles, the Syrian 7th Division was given another order to launch a barrage of 20 missiles at Israeli Military establishments in the occupied-Golan Heights.

– The number of Israeli aircraft participating in the attack was about 30, all of which fired their missiles from outside the Syrian and even Lebanese airspace and did not dare to enter either.

– Israel launched a 4th wave of missiles combined with decoy, surface to surface and air launched
long-range missiles; and this was the wave that 4 of it’s missiles reached their targets and hit a SyAAD detection radar and SyAAD short-range defense battery and two ammunition depots.

– No Long-Range SAM were fired at the Israeli jets although they were in range multiple times.

– To our knowledge, the majority of the Syrian missiles fired at Israel’s locations reached their targets.

– Syrian casualties were three personnel.

With all due respect to Syria’s allies, the entire situation was dealt with by the Syrian Arab Army and under Syrian command’s orders.”

The idea of Russia defending Syria as an obligation is not the point. Russia knows or should know all to well, that Syria is just a staging area for future incursions into Russia. That was the stated position for going in, in the first place. This was clearly stated back then, remember? Destroy ISIS in Syria, or fight them in Chechnya, Dagestan etc.

Then, when ISIS was on the run after the first few months, Putin declares victory, pulls out, and lets them regroup. More than once. And constantly engages into negotiations knowing his partner is ‘noncapable of negotiating’. It reminds me of when US journalists would hear State Department lies, knowing they are lies, the State Department knowing the journalists know they’re lying.

Or the old saying in the USSR, we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us. When are things going to be called by their true names, to paraphrase Confucius?

He did that in Donbass, and twice in Syria. Now he invites Netanyahu to be his guest at the Victory Parade, which is almost as bad as inviting some SS officer. It really blows my mind how a trilobite (grungy prehistoric creature) like Netanyahu gets both Trump and Putin to treat him so deferentially.

When are Russia and China going to introduce sanctions in the UN against the 3 gangster members of the Security Council and NATO? Let’s recall that a large majority of the UN General Assembly voted against Nazism.

When are Putin, Xi and others of that 130 vote bloc going to start holding the West accountable for their serial wars and crimes? It is not necessary to rattle sabers, but can we at least have some accountability in the realm of Nations and Civil Society?

From what I can tell, more and more Russians are starting to feel like they got the Trump treatment, expecting better decisions than what has been coming from the new President elect. That’s also true for anyone opposed to the passive response to Western provocations. A possible reason for this is because, as in 1939, the USSR was not prepared to take on the Wehrmacht, and was merely buying time with the Molotov Ribbentrop pact.
Maybe we are in a similar situation. Certainly, NATO taking bite after bite of former Soviet space, and spreading war and chaos throughout MENA, and now even South America is a replay of Fascist pre WWII aggression in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, Spain, etc.

So is this failure to call out such crimes ‘buying time’, ‘appeasement’ or ‘retreating to win’ until all that is left is a truncated Russian Federation as envisioned in the Grand Chessboard?

I realize that brinksmanship with US nuclear power is a dangerous game. However, letting the criminal behavior of Netanyahu be indulged rather than called out is not going to work in the long run.

Pablo Miller is the one who recruited Sergey Scripal to switch againgt the Rus ie start working for MI6;ar the time.
Pablo Miller is a partner in Chris Steele’s ‘intelligence agency/service’ called Orbis – which he founded once he retired as active MI6 spy. It so happens that people in this line of work never retire, just narrow their focus.

It is irresistable to assume Orbis is a likely kitchen where Trump infamous dossier was cooked up. (Steele at the time said ge got his info from his’Russian contact’, me thinks Skripal via Pablo Miller)
in conclusion, could it not just be that the ‘Russian source’ was Skripal himself – . twice used and abused for his expert ‘knowledge’ i.e. fabrication.

I think his poor soul perished a while back and that his physical existece is no longer by now, .Imagine if he was able to speak? I doubt the diabolicals in secret agencies would contemplate such risk.

and for the Skripals,
– I imagine that, the Brits were got confirmation from Mossad, that, mossad will arrange the proof for it. But as mossad do have a bigger target, so it turned its back. And now selling it to Putin.

Putin and the Russians are holding their cards close to their chest. Did the world know of the new and advanced weapons systems 2 years ago? The Russians know what they are doing and the Victory Day Parade illustrates that. Don’t mess with us.

“Spinwatch can reveal that the Skripal affair has resulted in the issuing of not one but two ‘D-Notices’ to the British media, which are marked private and confidential. We can also disclose the contents of both notices, which have been obtained from a reliable source.”

This is all conjecture, and I do not want to entice gossip in anyone, but I cannot escape the thought that the British “intelligence” services have already killed the Skripals.

After all, things don’t add up in an open, transparent way.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. … The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”
– Jesus in John 10:1 and 10:10

If one puts themselves in the evil shoes of the British “intelligence” services who did this in the first place, one then might have to consider that perhaps father and daughter have already been killed, so as not to risk any chance that they speak to anyone in any way that doesn’t match the British government narrative. Was Yulia being “uppity” when she spoke to Victoria ? Who knows. But to the evil powers-that-be, there is no upside to leaving the Skripals alive, because if they agree with the narrative, many will think they’ve been brainwashed, and will want to speak further with them; and if the Skripals slip and disagree with the narrative, it will expose the truth of the evils of the Brits and “friends”. But if the Skripals are dead, the Brits and “friends” can always pretend the Skripals went away to live in some version of voluntary “protected obscurity” in a “peace-loving” Western country of their choosing. The Brits could even deny knowing where they are at that point.

Of course, this all brings the question: why were the Skripals merely sickened and not just killed in the first place, with false blame put forth for their “murder” instead of just their “poisoning” ? Well, if one assumes it wasn’t a super-deadly agent they were subjected to, perhaps the nearby government-run chemical lab was looking for some human “lab rats” to try a new thing on, who knows. Or maybe more likely, or in conjunction with that, was the intent to blame Russia for something, so why not make it seem like the “compassionate” West wanted to “save” these poor people from “murderous” Russia ?

But then Yulia called… and the fake letter had to be made… and some astute people started noticing facts… and things began to get out of the Brits control. There would be no reason in the world to keep the Skripals hidden if all they would do is verify your story, and be grateful to those who cared enough to save their lives.

Again, I do not want to start a gossip train, but still, I cannot escape the thought the Brits might have already killed the Skripals, at least until the Brits enter the sheepfold by the door, and prove they are alive.

Wikipedia’s Powers-That-Be have decreed that Yulia is not “notable” enough to have her own page (while numerous obscure nobodies have pages). If she had a page it would be an opening to fill in parts of her life (such as when she worked in England) and her un-person status. This cannot be allowed.

‘Flowery’ officialese language such as “I do not wish to avail myself of their services’ did not likely come from Russian Yulia, no matter how fluent in English she might be. I believe it was a ‘diplomatic’ message from the UK essentially thumbing their noses at Russia. This demeans Russia.

As far as the Israeli missile nose footage of it destroying a Pantsir unit, this is troubling as this is the exact short range defence it is designed for.
I see a number of possibilities:

The Pantsir crew were asleep at the wheel.
The Pantsir unit had a technical fault or was down for maintenance
The Pantsir unit was already out of ammo
The Israeli EW was able to disable it (troubling) in Syria
The footage was from another place and time
The Pantsir was a fake mock up either in Syria or a propaganda version in Israel or elsewhere

It was out of ammo and preparing for reloading. Seems that these need to be deployed in pairs to give cover during reloading. Likely Syria doesn’t have enough such equipment and during a sustained attack the defense points will be periodically vulnerable.

So far there has not been a second attack, although Syria is expecting one. Did the Israelis get their fingers burned sufficiently to make them more cautious?

All western sources including one reasonably sympathetic to Syria are claiming Iranians were the targets. Syrian sources say that their are few Iranians in Syria and all targets were Syrian military sites. Of course it’s war and whatever the truth is isn’t so easy to determine. I believe Israel was attacking Syria, plain and simple, but have no way to independently verify this.

What we read in the press about S300s is for public consumption. Sometimes military strategy needs to employ public statements for various reasons. No one should assume that public statements encompass all facets of military strategy. Russia raised the issue publicly a while back and now is downplaying it. How exactly, and in what ways are they assisting Syrian AD – hardware, software, intelligence, satellite data, training…?? who knows, exactly? I don’t think Google has the answer.

The footage here is better than the one I saw previously. It looks like there were 4 personnel standing on the side of the runway (what is the Pantsir doing blocking what looks like the runway threshold in the first place -might as well paint a bulls-eye on it??) and one hears the cruise missile and runs quickly towards the Pantsir cab. I have to assume he did not survive.

To sum up, Putin wants Assad to compromise by allowing phased withdrawal of Iranian and Hezbollah forces from Syria territory and at the same time sending message to Bibi to also compromise by letting Assad stay ruling in Syria provided Syria have Iranian and Hezbollah forces withdrawn first from its territory.

Withdraw Hezbollah and Iranian forces,thats an insane thought,we should know by now compromise is not a word the Empire understands,the black flag of Isis would be flying over Damascus if that were to happen,the Israelis and the US would be their airforce.

Read those two articles thoroughly and put yourself in Putin’s boot to fully understand what he did instead of simply being emotional. Remember that just like the leaders of every other truly sovereign countries such as China and Iran, Putin’s 1st priority is the interests of Russia.

Article says:
“With Netanyahu standing next to Putin on the most important day in the Russian calendar year, the message is clear that Netanyahu is considered deeply honourable by the Russian government”.

Anyone and I don’t care who it is, that considers Netanyahu ” deeply honourable” should be the one going to
an exorcist.

I wish you good health and hope that you are able to travel to Russia later this year.

Unfortunately, I doubt that the Skripals are still alive.

About three days after the poisoning, somebody logged into Yulia’s VKontakte page but did not change anything. Whereas it could have been a police officer trying to get background information on her case, I guess it was Yulia herself.

Lets assume for a moment that the Skripals were knocked out by BZ, either via spray in the park or by ingestion in the Zizzi restaurant twenty minutes earlier. They would take about two to four days to come to their senses. What would Yulia do first after coming to her senses? Put a message on her social media page to say that she is fine? Check if people already worried about her? Yeah – exactly.

Lets further assume that the general hospital staff was asked to inform the treating doctor immediately if she wakes up. While the doctor is being called, she grabs her phone and logs in VKontakte. This may have taken her a minute or two. Upon arrival of the doctor, he instructs her to quit because she shall not overstress herself, she shall first respond to investigators, or whatever. It may well have been that her phone was confiscated by police under the pretext of wanting to search through her calls/messages to filter out an eventual enemy perpetrator. And gone was it, her phone.

It takes her a couple more days to convince a nurse that she absolutely needs to call her sister. Or she manages to apprehend a phone unnoticed. Anyways, her call is short and shows that she knows for sure that her call will anger her guard(s). For all these reasons, I take the visit of her VKontakte page three days after the poisoning as a strong hint that it was Yulia herself.

If the original poison was BZ, the visit of the OPCW team to take blood samples of the Skripals two weeks later must have caused migraine to the theater directors. Firstly, if Yulia was awake she could have talked to the OPCW team and consented to the blood sampling. However, the UK organized representative consent documents for both Skripals if I recall correctly. The public OPCW report avoids any information on the health condition of the Skripals and detective Bailey. Secondly, given the full chain of custody and the claimed addition of BZ as quality control substance, no nerve poison could have been found in the blood samples. According to information leaked from the full report by the Swiss laboratory, an organophosphorus class nerve agent was found in high purity and lethal concentration.

If the Skripals were poisoned initially by the alleged nerve agent, two weeks later mostly metabolized residues would have been found. Here is the conundrum: How did the nerve agent get into the blood samples in high purity and concentration without violating the chain of custody?

How about injecting the Skripals with the nerve agent shortly before the arrival of the OPCW team?

In this case, the Skripals would have been unconscious during the visit of the OPCW team and would have died shortly thereafter. Nobody would ever hear or see them anymore. This is my current hypothesis. Each passing day without a sign of life from them and without full public disclosure of the investigation and laboratory results supports it.

Alternatively, the Skripals might be locked up indefinitely because their spirit of telling the real story could not be broken (yet). If I were British, I would do anything in my power to get them out of prison lest I would feel totally ashamed. The same feeling applies to Assange, by the way.

I have also written blogs and articles petitioning for the release of Julian Assange. While many others like Craig Murray and John Pilger have lobbied in support of JA there are many here who are ambivalent and some who seem to delight in the fact that he is being arbitrarily detained.

Thanks – it is well appreciated. I saw your earlier post and tried to sign. Retried again. However, I did not get an email to confirm my signature yet. Curious.

Another resistance vector are taxes: everyone, please explicitly forbid to abuse your taxes for criminal purposes. It does not change anything on the short term, but if a large majority of tax payers would require legality, we could walk on the tax offices in about a year from now and start enforcing it for all public expenses.

If you look at it from the point of view of the creator of propaganda, then it becomes apparent that the British would really want to put both the Skirpals out into the public, at least with one and possibly a whole blitz of interviews. They would have a huge impact in the western media. Telling how it felt when the chemical agents were taking effect. Being asked how they felt that the Russian government tried to kill them. It would be a propaganda artist’s dream. Of course, that is if the Skirpals were willing to tell the British propaganda story.

That the Skirpals have now been dissappeared says that they are not wiling to tell the British propaganda story. Neither one of them, apparently. Especially when they were still in the hospital, it would have been easy to concoct a story that says that the other is still too ill to speak. Also interesting is that the elder Skirpal had worked for British intelligence for a long time. He’s called a “Russian spy”, but the best description of the elder Skirpal is to name him a “British spy.” He was a Russian citizens who was willing to spy on his own country for Britain. And yet now, he can’t be trusted to be put anywhere near a microphone? Very Interesting.

I’m not a geopolitical analyst, but what I sense is that Putin is doing something else. He is deescalating. He’s keeping the Israeli’s completely in the dark whether their planes will be shot down or not. I guess.

The Skripals? They’re dead. They have been murdered by MI5 or MI6 or whatever in a plot to wipe the RF out of the UNSC. It has blown completely in their face.

Would it be an idea to communicate that as such? Just let the RF announce that they conclude that two of their citizens have been murdered on British soil for political reasons, and the British keep on lying, lying, lying about it.
Denial? Sure. You guys are so happy with ‘sanctions’? Do it back. Just deny every British air company access to Russian airspace. Good luck with your planned intercontinental flights.

So they are alive? Prove it. Until then we conclude they have been murdered. You damned liars.

I am not so pessimistic about what is happening in Syria. Israel attacked – as it does so often – and Iran reacted Note: Iran did not react. Syria did. Please stick to facts. Mod. – as it had announced. Iran’s reaction was symbolic – it can do better than 10 missiles – and Israels reaction was predictable.

But this was all just show. As long as it doesn’t obstruct Putin’s goals in Syria he will just ignore it. And he should.

What’s needed is an international campaign to free the Skripals. One must force the British to come clean.
As I have noted previously, they are clearly being held captive by the British. This is clearly illegal according to international law.

Just read the Sakers comment on the Skripals and wish to write that I write on them almost daily, What Teresa
May and Boris Johnston did with the Skripals was to me unbelievable, except now I see and feel what the British are really like a people, today less then 100 years after Hiyler or pure nihilism. I write on present day (and past) politics versus human reality so to speak.

“How anybody can respect, nevermind admire, the Israelis is simply beyond comprehension. I sure can’t think of a more contemptible, nasty, psychopathic gang of megalomanical thugs (and cowards) than the Israelis. Can you?”

Der/Per: Many americansare not nasty or psychopathopathic gang thugs.
We just want peace, but don’t have the power here to achieve it.
And we want to be rid of he Israeli influence, but they own or gov. for bad.

As I understand the hostile events in Syria a couple of days ago, there were British jets armed and fueled in Cyprus. I hadn’t heard that they were ever airborne. There were French jests armed and fueled in Easter Syria. And there were heavily armed Russian aircraft over Lebanon and along the coast. The Russian defense forces were on high alert, and a sub-chasing aircraft was in flight. I think it is very interesting to look at what didn’t happen: Although the European and US military was all primed for a ‘go ahead’, it didn’t happen.

Who remembers Timothy McVeigh? Whoever he was he was a spook…but he’s dead, right?

Probably, ah, not…

His personal mystery comes to mind when people speak of Skirpal…

What blew at OKC was all the evidence on the Clinton dope ring…and ol’ billy had his own enabling act all ready…but not all the charges…. Yup FUBAR is their middle name (though they did alright in the second try at NY, except for the unreacted thermate, video proof, and obvious TBS fairy-tales…

Naturally the special handling, er,,, “Sonderbehandlung” as it were, must be executed in accord with the regrettable circumstances…

Something between “The Prisoner” and a drug cocktail with electroshock…or worse, and they may be counterpoised against one another… Of course, in the fullness of time, cancer, helio accidents…the old reliable stuff, and suicide by defenestration . A trailer park in Kansas? I doubt that…

This Skripal incident was some kind of anti russian psychological operation that went wrong. Nothing has been gained by UK/USA out of this performance. The end result as it stands is the UK looks more untrustworthy, manipulative and weak than at any point in recent decades. It is important to remember UK, like Yugoslavia in 1990, is a truly failed state economically and politically, about to implode and will not exist as a state much longer. England is in full Suicidal Nationalist mode, drunk on militaristic rhetoric and ego worship, once they leave EU the pound will be worthless and inflation will be well into double figures. Scotland, Ulster and Wales will rapidly agitate to remain in EU and split from the Ukranian-style English Nationalists. The Ukranians, English and Kosovo terrorists are the biggest threat to European security.

All the while, EU is becoming more and more pro Russian and without England to stick up for them, the russophobes like poland and croatia will have to be put in their place by Germany. Ironic but apropriate that the nation most associated with genocidal war against Russia will end up becoming Russia’s strongest ally and economic partner, Nord Stream 2 is a raised fist to Anglo Imperialsm by Russia and Germany.

new stuff has come to light? Well, old stuff, new to me… Real? I dunno…looks ok to me…

I was about to post this, it maybe not that politically correct..and I hadn’t edited it..but my wife shouted to me this afternoon. we need to go now, or we will miss the bus. Now I have the time to correct the spelling mistakes, after a completely brilliant afternoon with my wife and our friends – to see aband of musicians, we had never seen before.

I have now drunk a considerable amount of alcohol, so am in no fit state to edit what I wrote when I was sober ealier this afternoon. I do apologise to The Saker if I used too many Capitals..but this is what I wrote unedited. I do not mean to be offensive, but sometimes it just comes out.

“You Russians and Americans and Israelis and French, have got to see it from My English point of view…

Who have we successfuly bombed recently? We only have about two ships one submarine and about 3 aircraft that can fly. We have got an army which whilst highly professional is not interesed in killing the people they are told to do…

The British Government is so completely incompent, that they can even pull of a decent story off in Salisbury, and that is where most of the rest of The British Army, and Comic actors are based…

I have been telling them for years to tell The Americans to simply go away.

They do not provide anything useful to Europe

Russians, and even The EU, which I am not too keen on do.

I reckon even us British, are going to completely ignore the Americans, and continue trading with Russia ,and Iran, and the Rest of The World including al The Countries of Europe.

We don’t like your Deal

I would lie to be more polite to Washington.

I live in London, and you guys in the USA are not very nice.

I don’t like you. We Fake it. You do Kill for Real.

You have no conscience no experience of the world..beyond your next state in the usa

You have never travelled i foreign lands as a tourist, just under the order of a gun.

I seriously do not like you Americans, and what I completely despise is you tainting us British with The Same Brush.

Our level of Psychopathy os on a Different Level to Yours

We don’t do Torture – or when we do an honest Diplomat – Like Craig Murray brings it to the Attention of The British Government at The Highest Levels – sure he got fired but they didn’t kill him

The Americans meanwhile in The CIA – promote Their Best Tortureres to Head The CIA..

Masterstroke By President Trump, to get The Enrire Wolrd To place Sanctions on The USA.

including The UK

We don’t like you Americans either.

My wife and I are about to leave to see a live English band in a local pub. I know it needs editing,,,but I need to get ready and go.”

My wife and I are back home now – via our local London bus. We all had a great night.

In geopolitics, there is no such thing as a “win” that can last forever. One day you win, one day you lose, and it keeps on going for the duration of human existence.
Skirpal is a traitor who knew what he was getting into, and now he is paying the price. He got some money in exchange for his life. His daughter should’ve not been mixed up in this but, once again, in the West everything is a fair game, including children. It should be a good lesson to those who might be kidding themselves that the demons in the city of London, or Wall street would not eat your soul, once the deal is done. Skripal was a moron for thinking otherwise.

In the case with Putin and his unwanted visitor from Tel-Aviv, there is a game going on. It seems that Syria was able to do the job just fine without S-300, and Russia probably bought some peace for the soccer championship. Let us wait till August, and see what Russia has in store for the crazies.

Regarding the Israeli attacks on Syria we need to not rush to judgement here based on flimsy informationand western msm “facts”.
Marwa Osman accurately points out that over the lastfew years Israel has carried out over a hundred attacks on Syria including invasions, bombing and acting as ISIS air force.
Nothing was said about these attacks.
What was new and different this week was Syria now being able to fire missiles into Isrsael seriously hamper it’s efforts and fight them – a capability which will increase as -thanks to Russia -Syria is many times stronger now than 5 years ago.

The Israelis are freaking out for 2 reasons.
One – they cannot believe that Syria has the audacity and ability to defend itself and hit Israel andsecondly their illegal occupation of the Golan heights is threatened by new found Syrian confidence and ability tpo get this part of their country back.

It was in this context that Bn probably in a fit of rage demanded to see VVP and flew off to Moscow

I imagine that on Victory over fascism day the very last person on God’s Earth VVP wanted to see was this conniving psychopath from Tel Aviv but having little choice he invited him along for the parade and to calm him down agreed to freeze the S-300, deliveries whilst exorting all sides to cool it.
But hysterical temper tantrums by Netanyahu won’t change things much. He acts like a spoilt toddler and his outright lie that it was Iran which fired the rockets will not have impressed VVP one little bit.

But the real “takeaway” is that Syria is increasingly able to give Israel as good as it gets without needing Russian firepower and this is excellent news. This is what the Israelis cannot deal with. Syria is becoming stronger and more confident.

Kevork Almassian in his “Syriana” videos says that the long term future of Syria looks good.
Yes, the French and the US are occupying territory but he forsees perhaps within a year or so the Syrian Arabs, in the occupied areas arming up and attacking the US/ French bases whereupon, unable to cope with casualties they will leave. He cites the Beirut example of ’83 when following the deaths of 300 US marines in Lebanon, the US immediately exited the country.
Furthermore since the US is facing financial collapse their military empire will be unsustainable ( then whither Israel? ) But this won’t be next week so meanwhile the SAA will focus on the problem areas one at a time and will seek liberation of the occupied Golan heights. The Syrians don’t whinge. They just get to it day after day.

Of course people are upset at the VVP/BN meeting and the deaths of the Syrian and Iranian personnel is outrageous but so are the millions of other deaths brought about by Israel which drives all America’s wars on behalf of the globalist Zionist bankers.

Lastly, Russian support for Syria has been and is colossal and ongoing. The internet is always host to those who would sow discord and friction between the resistance partners and it is a very good idea when you read something to sit down and check who is saying what. It might not be what it seems. It might be distortion of the facts.
The propaganda war is as important as the military one.
Russia is trying to fix the terrible tragedy of Syria whilst protecting it’s sovereignty yet denying the western psychopaths the excuse to kick off a major world war which could kill us all.

Isn’t that rather skilful? And also mighty difficult?

And aren’t the Iranians and Hezbollah showing incredible wisdom in not giving the Israelis the blows I am sure they would love to but seeing the importance of denying the US the pretext for war it seeks?
And yes I do believe that Syria will – eventually – recover all it’s territory

Stay loyal and focussed.
Syria is part of a big group of powerful counrties led by clever and sane leaders. Yes Russia can make mistakes and I am sure there are some very heated arguments amongst the Syrian allies about how to proceed but there is no country on Earth that has tried harder to achieve diplomatic results through lawful means than Russia using every channel it can even within the corrupt and US manipulated United Nations -and President Assad knows this.
So please stop criticising President Putin and be bloody grateful that Russia, China. Iran and Syria are doing what they can to liberate Syria from the Israeli terrorists and their barbarism.because the eventual liberation of Syria will indicate the turning of the tide against the “new world order” and that is a victory not just for them but in this battle against evil, a victory for the entire human race.

The latest attack of Israel against Syria was purely symbolic I think. The IDF told us, that the Iranians will need a lot of time to recover from the last strikes. What bullshit is this? ……Exactly the same bullshit Trump tweeted a month ago: “Mission accomplished, Syria’s chemical weapons destroyed”. As ugly the pictures of Netanyahu in Moscow are – it is the face saving mask, given by Moscow, when they made him back down. It’s better to look weak and let your enemies know that you are strong secretly…..Always let your enemy a chance to escape, teaches SunTzu. The time Russia looks weak the Syrian Army hunts down the last remnants of ISIL, Russian war planes bomb the Wahhabis in Idlib, the war is going on and the USA and Israel are losing. Every day without a major war brings the empire a step closer to its end. As many cry “Putin makes Russia Washington’s vassal”, Putin declares that Russia must get rid of the dollar:

That’s exactly the kind of decisions that usually lead to war with the empire, but they will rather bully Iran. If the new “strategies” of hitting nearly nothing and declaring victory continue we don’t have much to fear…..they will bomb some empty facility in Iran and declare it “a devastating strike against the Mullahs”. Sometimes it is really good, they believe their own bullshit :)
